Pros

Beautiful store. Awesome loyal, repeat customers. Employees who know the brand. I was able to build solid relationships with customer and that was a big plus for me. The lack of employee turnover encouraged me to building my career at Talbots.

Cons

There seems to be a trend to cut the hours of seasoned employees over a certain age in favor of building up the hours of younger employees. Looks like discrimination on the part of upper management given that it has happened other places than the store I worked. By renaming the positions to make those changes in the staff, it really shows the company is only thinking of the "her" who has the $$$ not the loyal, customer building, associate who has helped Talbot become a strong brand.
