Pros

Amazing team atmosphere that is open and collaborative. Senior leadership who is invested in growth and development of not only the brand, but the teams who work here. Fantastic culture with an emphasis on the customer experience and putting customers first always. Great place to work if you love to connect with your team and your customers!

Cons

Need to be able to manage, lead and work in the gray. If you thrive in the gray, this is the place for you!

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.
