      Pros

      People - customers and associates are the best! We use to have a great district and regional manager too. Nice store environment, some stores were updated to relect a more modern look. 40% clothing discount is very generous. Flexible work schedule when staffing is full

      Cons

      Our district manager is lazy and never on the floor. She arrives later then planned and leaves earlier than expected. She never has time to hear our concerns, instead she just tells us about her personal problems. We need someone who is not afraid of uppermanagement and stands on her own. Where is our support? Productivity program is almost impossible if you work part time.

      Pros

      None. This company is garbage compared to how it used to be.

      Cons

      Slave wages, not enough hours for anyone except management because the private equity company that owns us has cut our staff to a skeleton crew even on busy days. Management and associate alike are stretched super thin to the point of exhaustion. Even as a sales associate, there was a time I supported myself on a Talbots salary. Now I have to choose between paying my car insurance or getting an oil change. I used to get 30+ hours a week even as a sales associate. Now I'm lucky if I get 20. Health benefits are a rip-off. The company in my observation has had a time finding and maintaining good workers. If you value your livelihood, run fast and run far.
