Pros

I loved working at J. Crew as a seasonal employee. My managers increasingly gave me more autonomy and responsibility as the years progressed, and my hard work was rewarded with a raise and consistent schedule (even during times when store hours were low). Because of J. Crew, I learned how to provide excellent customer service and maneuver tough situations with difficult customers.

Cons

In my store, there was definitely an employee hierarchy. Some employees, like myself, received many hours per week, while others rarely got scheduled to work. It is tough for new hires to prove themselves because they typically work approximately one shift per week.

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.
