Good place to work

Pros

By and large, low pressure. most work 9 to 5 days - don't get in the way of the door at the end of the day (assuming you like that kind of job).

Cons

Pay was average (goes with low pressure). Organization was VERY hierarchical. At the time former COO was no brain surgeon, but understand it is better managed now, despite layoffs to address over expansion. Systems were lacking in a big way.

Pros

They have an organized system, part time hours are very manageable, co-workers are friendly, specific procedures for everything

Cons

Some of the customers that came in to Talbots were of an older age group and would sometimes be in a bad mood
