Pros

head designer is very smart and talented. you will learn alot from her

Cons

the company as a whole is very clicky, alot of odd characters and very unfriendly. offten would come to work early to get work done and would have to put my headphones in to not listen to all the gossip going on. Talbots will not promote you on proformance it is all on there time line. and often drag there feet

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.
