      Pros

      Decent working hours to work-life balance available.

      Cons

      Wages weren't that great. Discounts on purchasing clothing as a sales associate weren't that generous as told at time of interview. Customers received generous discounts on purchases. Hours were cut to meet weekly payroll. Favoritism amongst employees for obtaining more hours. The store was horribly disorganized and sloppy! No creative nor artistic input allowed. Inhouse bickering amongst employees. Not friendly team playing environment. Manager placed more workload on Sales Associates that didn't fit the job description. No career advancement available. No compensation nor benefits for sales associates.

      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.
