Pros

Talbots is a Customer Experience focused Brand that cares about and invests in their employees. I started as an assistant manager 14 years ago and have chosen to build my career with THIS brand because they put the customer first, give their employees all the tools we need to be successful, create a fun and challenging work environment, seek out and nurture top talent, and support internal advancement. Our corporate leadership partners and collaborates with those of us in the field, and those of us in the field strive to partner and collaborate with our own teams.

Cons

There aren't any!!! Anyone who has a passion for people, fashion, and fun would thrive in this retail environment.

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.
