Pros

A company where you can make a positive impact on the overall performance and customer experience. If one is willing to work hard, collaborate with other team members and communicate effectively upward within the organization, then the experience working for Talbots is very positive and exciting. It's rare to find a company where the CEO actually reaches out to customers to connect, especially when there is an opportunity to improve the overall customer experience!

Cons

The business performance recovery is taking a bit longer than we would like in order to restore key benefits like annual merit increases.

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.
