Pros

Discount is ok, co-workers are generally ok.

Cons

1. No advancement -- Company is millions in debt. You'll never climb here. 2. Restructuring -- Just went through a major slash of jobs in all channels. Including the "oh so profitable and bourgeois Madewell". 3. Ageism -- J. Crew's staff base is overly educated and usually of an older demographic, not too old but just old enough to put you in your place, you know-nothing twenty year somethings. 4. Upper management -- Atrocious. HQ is so disconnected from field retail that it's kind of comical. 5. Debt -- This company will not survive much longer. They've cut retail field employees as a first response, that's not a good sign. Do not join this company if you're looking to pay rent at the end of the month.
