      Pros

      Co-workers are nice. A lot of access to product information. Weekly pay.

      Cons

      Absolutely no support for “diversity hires”. No transparency. Management won’t communicate openly. Minimal training but high expectations. Corporate won’t pay associates a decent wage so constantly low staffed. Active sabotaging of minorities. DEI Counsel just panders, no action.

      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.
