      Pros

      nice location, clean environment, previously high end talent, friendly staff and clients, quality clothing in nice classic updated looks could easily be back on top with new direction and respect for employees

      Cons

      Schedule is constantly changed without notification, unrealistic demands, rude comments from manager with a touch of racism, unknowledgeable leadership, disconnected and snobby DM, has no concern for employees , they say they irreplaceable. lack of focus, few doing most of the hard work while others are pampered. Lack of proper training. CEO is absolutely lost in her role.

      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.
