Pros

- Laid back and not workaholics - Great people - Great work like balance - Fully remote This is the first job where I haven't dreaded going back to work the next day or after the weekend. Although its not the "sexiest" company to work for, its a good place to learn and transition out. They're very open to people leaving for better opportunities. A lot of people are recruited back into the company and place into higher level positions.

Cons

- Benefits are lacking. I only accrue 2 hours of pto a week, while my gf that got a job in a hospital accrues 4+ hours a week. - Healthcare benefits are average... the bare minimum. Only downside I see so far is the benefits.

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.
