Pros
Good coworkers Nice environment Friendly atmosphere
Cons
Pay was way too little for the work I was doing. I had to do everything including promotional material, marketing, and merchandising in addition to being a sales associate. Originally there was a merchandising person, but Talbots was too cheap to hire them. Despite their clothes being ridiculously expensive they only pay minimum wage. Very slow days which can be a good and bad thing. Customers can be rude and demanding. They wanted us to get customers to make style appointments and write them letters, which is another two jobs in addition to selling clothes. Only had half an hour to open/close the store, which was never enough time to do all the tasks they wanted us to do. Asked for three morning shifts per week, ended up getting put five closing shifts a week. Always went home late.
