Talbots Reviews

Cons

upper management will not talk to you if having problems with other employees

Cons

Never enough payroll to get everything done so you never have enough employees working for the size of the store

Cons

Hard to work your way up the chain

Cons

If you're not willing to cater to an up scale environment then skip this job. If you have great customer service and are happy to help Her feel best in her clothes...not just selling to make a profit, then this is a great job! We're here for women and we want them to look their best and feel their best. Remember that they are representing the store everyday they wear those clothes.

Cons

Poor management at one location

Cons

Being on the sales floor can be physically demanding, especially when helping multiple customers at once
Hours that you want aren't always available, sometimes due to payroll limitations
Part-time employees aren't eligible for benefits - except 401k after service requirements have been met

Cons

Because I am part time I am limited in the number of hours I can work. I would love to have more hours or become full time but that is not part of company policy at this time.

Cons

Always on feet and busy

Cons

Most of middle management have been promoted through the ranks and have no outside training in people management, causing high turnover. It often seemed that "corporate" was calling all the shots and local management really had no authority.

Cons

There is nothing negative to say
