Pros

Most of the people drawn to J.Crew are really fun and intelligent, so working with them is great. It's a good environment. They offer health benefits for part time employees, which is a wonderful thing that all companies should do.

Cons

The pay is so little you can't support yourself with just a sales associate or cashier position. More than anything, there are always too few hours to go around to make a living, but you are constantly on call for them because they don't keep regular schedules, so you give your life's availability to them for around $600 a month.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
