      Pros

      Great benefits and fun place to work with people. Staff and management were friendly and it was a great environment. Great clothes too!

      Cons

      Too many hard hours, can't have much of a personal life. Wasn't a good job for someone with a degree, as it was a long time coming with career advancement. Pay was bad in comparison of someone with a simliar degree.

      Many discrepencies in what management states as procedures that have to be adhered to and what actually takes place.

      Pros

      Nice clothing and average discount, friendly staff and for the most part, very nice customers.

      Cons

      There is definately an 'encouragement' not to take breaks or lunches or to work without pay at certain times. Too much emphasis on procedures & policies, and not enough on actual selling skills. Very little positive feedback, with emphasis always on what Talbots wants and new rules and procedures that sales people are to follow, yet management get around these issues in a very unfair way.
