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.
