Pros

Associates and customers are at the forefront of all they do. Building relationships is their #1 priority and you can feel that in the stores through the thoughtful pace in which we operate. The pay and benefits are competitive and Team Rewards are an amazing extra bonus!

Cons

There really are no cons. The company is working at a fast pace to make upgrades to all systems that will streamline processes & align leaders.

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.
