Pros

If you're looking for an easy-going job, this is it. I work at the call center for Talbots and it's a very relaxed atmosphere. They generally treat you well and are considerate to the fact that it is retail.

Cons

Don't work here if you're trying to look for a job to pay the bills. This is the part time job to the part time job to the full time job. Basically, it's good for gas money and going out every once in a while.

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.
