      Pros

      Okay place to work for retail, a little better pay than most. Very professional. Very customer service oriented. Overall a pretty good place to work.

      Cons

      My feet hurt so bad when I worked there, only a 30 min lunch if you worked over a six hour shift, and only a fifteen min break if you worked under that. I left Talbots because I asked for two days off three months in advance and the manager said no because ONE other person had asked those days off, but there were about seven other people available to work.

      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.
