      Pros

      Pro-active and quickly evolving company focused on results. Highly customer-centic and technology based. Solid and loyal clientele following. Adaptable to changing environment. Most upper management try to lead by example and do a good job.

      Cons

      Talbots is an exceptionally operationally heavy company and sales programs require labor intensive time. Stores are expected to deliver with ridiculous targets, short deadlines with minimal payroll.

      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.
