      Talbots isn't a good long-term employment prospect.

      Pros

      Ideal for people who don't want to commute to the city but who want to work for a major company that offers good wages and medical benefits. Nice people working there.

      Cons

      Incompetent executive and senior management. No career path or investment in upgrading employee skills. Poor communication of corporate vision and strategy. Promotions/hiring based on who you know and how effectively you can work the political system. Poor corporate earnings have resulted in layoffs, so jobs aren't stable for management or hourly workers.
