Pros

This is a great job for a college student. The schedule is flexible to accommodate changing class schedules, and you can do your school work during down times. Benefits are great (arguably the best in Lynchburg, VA), employee discounts are awesome and you get a lot of PTO. This is an ideal position for someone who is simply looking for an income to pay bills. I was on the Email/Chat team where we could listen to music as we worked. Basically, J.Crew puts a lot of emphasis on customer service, so CSRs get a lot of perks.

Cons

Lots of favoritism and job politics. It's hard to get ahead if a member of management simply does not like you. Also, it's required that you work one day of the weekend, Saturday or Sunday.

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.
