Pros

discount, nice staff, quality product, wonderful customers

Cons

Assistant manager's behavior is rude and condescending. Manager's advice "just talk her down give her a bag to breathe into".

Pros

Nice discount, but still very difficult to buy Talbots clothes on part time associate pay.

Cons

The sales goals are not realistic. Very stressful working conditions, and with the high sales goals, it creates tension between associates - not teamwork. We used to get a 15 minute break when working a 5 hour shift, and that was taken away. We currently work 6 hours and do not get a break at all. Also, the water cooler was taken away - not sure what that was all about - we were never told. Training is almost non-existant for the associates (zero register training). Even during the slow times, when there are no customers in the stores, and the clothes are folded impecably - the management doesn't want you to talk to another associate.
