Pros

The longer I work for J. Crew, the more I like about the company. The company is continually pushing to improve itself. You can tell that senior management has a clear, and structured approach to grow the company's/brand's reputation and standing in the fashion retail world. I have a much better work/life balance since I have started working for J. Crew. I generally work 40-42 hours each week. There have been occasional weeks that I have had to work more, but for the most part, my work week stays at 40 hours. At previous employers, I would generally work a minimum of 45-50 hours in a typical week.

Cons

Some of the systems of the company are a little dated, but as I stated earlier, there is a plan in place to modernize the company.

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.
