      Pros

      The relationships that are built with customers each and every day--very loyal customer base.

      Cons

      Extremely operational with major Floor Sets every 4 weeks along with small adjustments 2 weeks after. Payroll is very tight and challenging in order to have enough selling floor coverage to build relationships and also complete non-selling operational tasks timely. Management is also suppose to train, coach, and lead Client Specialists to provide customers with an experience and build relationships.

      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.
