Pros
The loyal Talbots' client is truly the reason I am in love with working for this company. We have the pleasure to build such unique and lasting relationships with the women that come into our red doors. I have also had the pleasure to work right beside some of the most caring and respectable women I have ever met. It's very unusual for a store to not have a family atmosphere.
Cons
Very rare to see any merit increases--until last year, no merit increase had been given in over 7 years. Some of the more veteran staff may have relatively impressive salaries while newer staff has been hired in on a lowball salary. This makes store salaries not evenly representative of the job being performed, as it is not uncommon to see a sales associate making slightly lower (if not the same or higher) than a member of store leadership, management included. Talbots is not a company that has a tremendous amount of turnover in retail store management, leaving it not the most accessible for upward mobility. The benefit insurance packages are competitive, but they come at a pretty penny. The company does offer a 401k match contribution but is not the average that is your usual.

There really isn't any cons about this company
