      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits, though nothing out of the ordinary - health, dental, eye, HSA, 401(k); Generous personal/sick time for new employees; Opportunity to telecommute as needed.

      Cons

      No work/life balance; Severe growing pains; Low salary for long hours ($48k for 60+ hours per week, easily!); Lack of leadership/management training for supervisors; Lots of new employees and no formal training program, so lack of knowledge all around.

      Strong values, encouraging work environment, smart & interesting peer group

      Pros

      Lizanne is an incredibly strong and thoughtful leader who seems to inspire everyone, and there is a strong sense of "we're all in this together" at Talbots. While things can get a bit hectic from time to time, I have always felt very well supported and feel as though I am truly making a difference here. Also, to speak of perks, we have "Summer Fridays," which means that from Memorial Day to Labor Day we work later from Mon-Thurs and leave the office at 1pm on Fridays.

      Cons

      The health benefits are not as great as at other employers and we are not awarded bonuses on an annual basis, which is common practice in other industries.
