Pros
J. Crew does an excellent job of listening to their employees and understanding their customers. Unlike, other retail environments, J. Crew allows sales associates to remain human and interact with customers on a one-on-one level, while maintaining a level of professionalism. The environment created by management is one that creates respect within, and begets respect throughout. Employees have a voice, and whether you want to move up, or voice a concern, matters are always taken into consideration. Of course, the discount is more than fair.
Cons
Anyone who is not in management is subject to "On-call" shifts. These can be 3 to 8 hour shifts and there is no way to know if you are working or not but a mere 2 hours ahead of time.
