Pros

Flexible when it comes to calling out. Helps build your customer service skills.

Cons

Working at this store i a lot of issues. First off they do not pay me enough for the amount of work I do. They except you to work the register. Answer phones .process directs. Be full attentive with each customer. Be a security guard warding of shoplifting. Clean all at the same time while the managers hide in the back office practicing using pretty fonts on word. Also the customers also make it unpleasurable. Most people that come in are snobby rude messy and treat you like a servant. I have worked 3 other retail jobs and have never experienced do much dysfunction. Also certain manager don't keep their word and say very disrespectful and unprofessional things to their employees. Also I have a problem with them change the schedule that they have posted without telling us because employees have lives outside of their walls it makes it harder to plan anything. Also they either put too many people on or they put far too few should have been trained to manage a schedule. however this is what I deal with at my location I don't know anything about other locations

Pros

This company is really turning around and is evolving in to an even more exciting place to work. I have worked at other retailers and none of them treat their employees with the appreciation and respect that Talbots does.

Cons

Overall there is a lot of room for advancement but because the turn over rate is low you may have to wait a while.

I have been in store management for 15 years. If you have a passion for helping customers look and feel their best... This is the company for you! if you are looking for a rewarding career with inspiring leaders, teamwork, daily challenges and topping it off with fun... this is the place to be!

Cons

As in all retail... Hours and payroll challenges.
