      Love the people at the store but I have to question decisions by management. Have they ever worked the floor?

      Pros

      Proud to be selling classic Talbot's styling again. Customers are great to work with.

      Cons

      Inconsistent scheduling; poor pay. The sales associates are the face of Talbots. It is up to us to promote the brand, and the great customer service - all while stocking the store. It can be difficult to provide the superior customer service expected of us while stocking the store at the same time. Allowing a few extra hours while store is closed redo the floor would be money well-spent.
