Talbots reviews about "training"

They brought in some other managers from other locations and one of them was very mean to me. She basically told me that I was too quiet, but she didn't know that at that time I was doing tasks my "real" manager told me to do. The true manager at the skokie location is really great though.

No guarantee for training contracts

Only downside is morning opening as not much for morning traffic. Pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

Upper management is unorganized. No training.

The middle managers are promoted from sales associates- NO MANAGEMENT TRAINING, basically they’re following a playbook from corporate- Corporate has very little practical knowledge of the actual issues at retail stores level. Two of the four managers in my store have absolutely no managerial or supervisory experience whatsoever, former sales associates. Pressure, pressure, pressure to meet sales, appointment & credit card goals. Can be very political.

I love the clothes, sticking to my budget it’s my biggest challenge

My direct supervisor gaslights me daily, as if I’m dumb. Also, she makes my job ten times harder because she doesn’t know how to do anything correctly. Literally have to clean up all of her messes. Currently looking for a new job. So tired of her nonsense, being belittled and demeaned. Ps. I’m the only one working like a dog to make this place run properly. It’s like a circus in the store with 0 reprimanding and 0 training. I pity whoever takes my spot when I put in my notice!

Very poor pay. Hypocritical leadership… do not follow their own procedures and rules. Company promotes charitable giving to women’s organizations instead of emphasis on their own staff. NO ADVANCEMENT. Zero training
