Talbots reviews

We are expected to strong arm our customers into opening a credit card. Every year they reinvent the wheel, they come up with new process' that cost millions to put in place only to discard and begin again. They start with a great program and then continually take away any support they promised. They refuse to advertise and expect us to bring new customers in the door, however they don not give us the tools to do so. We don't get paid to work out of the store, in the past they have expected us to ask for donations to support our events because they do not give us a budget. I could go on.

Too much hierarchy. Top heavy management - too many VP's who are not always aligned causing constant indecision and changes. Poor culture: constant blame game and the need to cover yourself. Lean staff; thus, long hours and spread thin. Stressful environment. No work/life balance. High turnover. You bring your work home. No career path. Unreasonable deadlines. Your best is not enough. Accomplishments are rewarded with more work.
