Talbots employee reviews
Based on 6 ratings
Flexible schedule
Poor pay, a number of unskilled lazy workers- many won’t answer phone or clean out fitting rooms. Some won’t clean or take out trash.
Clothing discount is just okay.common for customers to get as much discount with multiple coupons as employees.
Overall they are polite and generally reasonable.
Stop the unfair pay practices.
NA
In our geographic area it is among the lowest.
Don’t know
This is a canned question. How can there be joy at 12.00 dollars per hour. The customers are generally pleasant and show appreciation.
Discount on clothing, flexible schedules.
Low pay based on regional standards. Last year the company has been making more and more cuts into quality of service and definitely quality of products. Not the same company & quality products of years past. Unfortunate because Talbots was a truly American company and brand. Junky clothes and styles.
Employee discount.
Hard to say, seems like they are just dragging the company and brand down.
Listen to RETAIL STAFF! We are the ones interacting with customers daily.
Not sure how to advise.
VERY LOW!
Mostly white, WASP women.
Helping customers find that ‘Perfect outfit’. Giving customers confidence in their wardrobe.
Strong leadership, with transparency in all that they do. Growth opportunities throughout the organization Competitive salaries with bonus structure
High expectations Depending on work location possibly long and late hours with work schedule
Medical benefits are great Vacation and holiday allowances are generous
The leadership is smart, they listen and are willing to call out when they have made a wrong decision or one that makes the job extra challenging
