Pros

60% off discount and other discount

Cons

There is no sale associate appreciation. No benefit for part time employee. We had increasing in salary after 5 years. If you want to work there as a part time employee it is ok but not good at all. Management is horrible. very selfish and impolite. They don't care about employee health problems. Most of the managers do their personal jobs during businesses hours. Talk to their family member as long as they want on the phone in floor. Management ask you to work for extra hours but they never say thank you. Pushing customers to open Talbots charge.

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.
