      Amazing People to Work with

      Pros

      My manager at Talbots was by far the best manager I have ever had! I worked with an amazing team Great Benefits Easy work atmosphere

      Cons

      Talbots is in the middle of big changes, they were recently bought by Sycamore and could be sold again soon, once the company has been built back up. My shift was a 12 hours shift, although most are not. I work 3 days one week and 4 days the next, then repeat. This is great if you are single or have older children, but can be hard if you have a young family

      There are bad things lurking behind the red doors

      Assistant sales manager

      Pros

      50-60% OFF DISCOUNT Credit contests that generate "style dollars" to buy merchandise.

      Cons

      Company is struggling to recover from horrible financial loss. The expectations set by the company for sales and credit are anything but realistic. When the company has incentive contests the winnings are for the store managers or DM. Not the employees. Company also forces store employees to set up shopping appointments with customers. No raises in YEARS.
