      Pros

      Loved the clothes, loved the marketing and thought it I would stay for a long tome

      Cons

      Pay is far below other retailers. Lower level management members Think they have control and will Cause turmoil to push everyone around. Long term employees just go along With the chaos. Managers don't follow the rules And are left on their own so they make their own hours, disappear for hours and literally spend the day on their own personal errands. The store managers ans assistant managers don't handle hr issues correctly and play into the chaos. Way too Much moving around and Hiring people That don't look or play the part of a classy women's clothing store. Somewhat embarrassing with the way they dress and act.

      Pros

      Talbots is an amazing company to work for. I have worked for other retailers and never felt at home until I worked for Talbots. We pride ourselves in customer service and loyal dedication to a brand which many competitors lack. When you work for Talbots you become a part of a family. We believe in legacy, our brand, and our customer always comes first. The company is constantly coming up with new ideas and takes feedback from associates and well as customers on a consistent basis to perfect our brand. I always feel at home when I come to work and want to do better for my company and not just for myself.

      Cons

      It is very hard to get promoted at Talbots. I work very hard and ask for guidance on how to get a promotion, but I feel like it is a waiting game. I would never leave the company and I continue to consistently work hard, but feel I should have moved up by now. Also, the insurance plan is not the best, but I am not complaining. I work and have enough money to pay all of my bills on time as long as I buy nothing else.
