Flexible hours- terrible benefits

Pros

Flexible Hours, can work to make sure you have days off

Cons

Low pay, no bonuses, terrible benefits, they try to save money everywhere to the point that it is unsanitary and annoying not to have Clorox wipes for the headsets.

Pros

It's a slow paced environment most days but the average dollar sale is much higher at this retailer

Cons

It was difficult to break into total store management so I left for another retailer and immediately made $10,000 more in my salary and I've been extremely happy.

Pros

Proud to be selling classic Talbot's styling again. Customers are great to work with.

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling; poor pay. The sales associates are the face of Talbots. It is up to us to promote the brand, and the great customer service - all while stocking the store. It can be difficult to provide the superior customer service expected of us while stocking the store at the same time. Allowing a few extra hours while store is closed redo the floor would be money well-spent.
