Pros

Fantastic place to work. Great culture, benefits, and team spirit. Pragmatic and positive environment. Highly data-driven organization. Rich brand history with a passionate customer base. Opportunity to have meaningful impact on the business.

Cons

Hingham can be a bit of a long commute for those who live in Boston, although it is a reverse commute. Fantastic commute if you live on the South Shore of course!

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.
