Pros

The customers are so amazing. Its nice to get to talk to them and know about them. The company gives so much training and it is encouraged to grow within the brand. My coworkers are spectacular, too. Everyone helps each other and there isn't any drama!! I always feel supported and challenged to do my best. It is incredible. The discount is fantastic, too.

Cons

Sometimes we get very busy and its difficult to give each customer the attention I think she deserves. I also wish we had more time to steam all of our product.

Pros

None. This company is garbage compared to how it used to be.

Cons

Slave wages, not enough hours for anyone except management because the private equity company that owns us has cut our staff to a skeleton crew even on busy days. Management and associate alike are stretched super thin to the point of exhaustion. Even as a sales associate, there was a time I supported myself on a Talbots salary. Now I have to choose between paying my car insurance or getting an oil change. I used to get 30+ hours a week even as a sales associate. Now I'm lucky if I get 20. Health benefits are a rip-off. The company in my observation has had a time finding and maintaining good workers. If you value your livelihood, run fast and run far.
