      Pros

      This company is really turning around and is evolving in to an even more exciting place to work. I have worked at other retailers and none of them treat their employees with the appreciation and respect that Talbots does.

      Cons

      Overall there is a lot of room for advancement but because the turn over rate is low you may have to wait a while.

      Pros

      Associates and customers are at the forefront of all they do. Building relationships is their #1 priority and you can feel that in the stores through the thoughtful pace in which we operate. The pay and benefits are competitive and Team Rewards are an amazing extra bonus!

      Cons

      There really are no cons. The company is working at a fast pace to make upgrades to all systems that will streamline processes & align leaders.

      Pros

      Best clothing discount in retail I believe. Stores always nice; in nice locations. In general, nicer clientele than most other retail establishments.

      Cons

      Same as with all retail. Only part time positions available. Shifts changes. No benefits (for P.T.). Low hourly pay. Tremendous pressure to perform as if you were a full-time, commission salesperson. Must hit numbers for sales dollars, opening credit cards, pieces sold, customer call backs, thank you notes written - even though you are part time with no commission potential for meeting or exceeding numbers. Perform janitorial services, including cleaning (public) bathrooms.
