      Pros

      -Advancement opportunity, I got promoted after 6 months (when I was only 18 years old!) -Pay is higher than other retailers -Fun working environment, I had wonderful coworkers, managers and customers -Every time I asked for time off, I got the days off as long as it was at least 1-2 weeks in advance -There would always be little challenges between the stores with incentives, which were really fun. This is an amazing place to work at if you value strong relationships with people.

      Cons

      -The company is going downhill -Some customers are hard to deal with, but this is the retail industry, it is always going to happen -I did not get enough hours, due to very slow days -Not fast-pace all the time

      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.
