Pros

Awesome discount! 40% off storewide, allotment of 60% off 6 items a month for you, ideally wear to work clothes. Free top, bottom, and accessory when hired. Most store directors have been with the company for 10+ years, so they know what they're doing. They also like to promote from within.

Cons

Pushing the J.Crew Credit Card can get exhausting at times. Most customers don't want to open a credit card just to get a small discount on a t shirt! Corporate seems very out of touch with what's going on at the store level.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
