Talbots reviews

- Absolutely no leadership, from managers to SVP's there is not a single strong manager all the way up the chain. The lack of leadership causes absolute chaos in the most basic business decisions. All employees are just ping pong balls going back and forth from the one managers/SVPs guidance to the next. - Talbots refuses to invest in modern tools and it's taking a toll on all teams. The teams desperately need new tools to modernize the workflows but this is not possible without investment. Each year, there is a big flurry of excitement as the executive team talks about purchasing better tools and each year it gets pushed off as a secondary concern. - The people here are just horrible. They all gossip about each other and exhibit "clock in/clock out" mentality. They are so mean to their peers. Would never offer a helping hand and are such unhappy people.

Zero advancement opportunity. I was hired as a co-manager. Then they decided to change job titles. Ran my store with comp increases and no issues. Not even interviewed for SM roll. DM hired an external candidate who obviously lied on her resume. I did her job and mine for half the pay. DM very moody and wanted people "performanced" out.
