      Pros

      Small company with good teamwork, overall nice people, relaxed environment

      Cons

      The company has been headed in a terrible direction for years now and is not doing anything to course correct. There are a few bad apples in the organization who basically terrorize their direct reports and manage to keep their jobs after multiple HR complaints. Layoffs, constant new management, and people jumping ship made it very 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.
