Pros

There is no pressure no commission we see the success of the store which can only thrive if the entire team supports eachother. It is not a one man/woman sport in order to catch the ball your team mate must throw it.

Cons

There are more expectations related to performance creating higher goals for sales professional s. Honestly I'd take it as a compliment we're invested in you we believe. Now its your turn to believe in yourself.

Pros

I went to work at Talbots when I was laid off from my corporate job. I figured I could make money, meet career-minded people, and possibly even learn some new skills. It was a pretty relaxed, low-pressure environment, mainly due to our great, laid-back managers.

Cons

It's always hard to work for a company that's not doing well, and especially when they're going through a personality crisis. Talbots was trying to move to a younger, hipper audience and it just wasn't going well. The tried and true customers were disappointed in the ill-fitting, cheaper merchandise, and the new customers....well, they were few and far between, because it's hard to change your image as an older woman's store.
