Pros

Great employee clothing discounts on sale and special big discounts a few times a year.

Cons

Hours can be long and pressure to sell can be stressful. Sometimes there are too many salespeople and not enough customers, so can be competitive at times. Clothing can be expensive, even with the discounts and pressure to always look J. Crew style can be frustrating when you're paid just a bit above minimum wage. Prepare to sacrifice social life and expect to put on many hours during holiday season and on Black Friday.

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.
