Pros

Relaxed wonderful setting the people you work with aren't bad the women that come in are very nice I've only had about two women in the year I've worked there ever get a temper!!! I think thats a huge plus, at our store we don't tolerate rude behaviour and action is always taken in a bad situation if one ever ocurs which isn't often. Since I've been here in a year I can say we've only had one freak problem with a customer maybe two and thats it. The pay isn't bad based off of what some other companies offer and the percentage we get off of clothing is better than any other company I've worked for!!! They definitley give back to their employees as well as the community. The Company gives aways scholarships each year to women who want to be successful at a later age, etc. The pay is great to start out with verses other companies

Cons

The only thing I can say is sometimes like most places you get small clicks but its nothing to bad like other places where the work place is un workable. The women are very nice but obviously you don't want to get to personal the smallest thing could upset someone or they could confuse what you mean't very easily. I don't see any Cons what so ever other than that, The company is wonderful successful and GREAT TO WORK FOR!!!

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.
