Pros

Some of the best reasons for working at J.Crew are the discount you get on the clothing, the pay is decent, and everyone is relatively friendly and easy to get along with.

Cons

Retail can be a very political game. Sometimes the management choices were ones a lot of the workers did not agree with but somehow went through. Managers with little to no education on human resource management or management tactics.

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.
