      Pros

      Best clothing discount in retail I believe. Stores always nice; in nice locations. In general, nicer clientele than most other retail establishments.

      Cons

      Same as with all retail. Only part time positions available. Shifts changes. No benefits (for P.T.). Low hourly pay. Tremendous pressure to perform as if you were a full-time, commission salesperson. Must hit numbers for sales dollars, opening credit cards, pieces sold, customer call backs, thank you notes written - even though you are part time with no commission potential for meeting or exceeding numbers. Perform janitorial services, including cleaning (public) bathrooms.

      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.
