      Pros

      -Excellent pay -Small, intimate company -Faithful customer base -Consistent feedback on your performance, and goal oriented sales

      Cons

      -Discouraged from social relationships with other associates -Competitive sales -The brand and style can be slightly outdated, and the customer base is loyal, but small. Where other companies are sales driven, this one is so in a desperate way. Every dollar is meticulously counted, and your worth depends on your sales. -You will not get commission for these sales -The high stakes with low reward can be stressful

      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.
