Pros

If you are going to work retail, please work here. The best retailer I have worked for, period. The company cares, and works to promote associates.

Cons

The cons would be the same for any retail management position: long weekends, annoying customers, and a lack of work/life balance.

Pros

Clothing discount is generous, young and hip atmosphere,

Cons

I completely believe that J.Crew is a great place to work in other places other than Ontario. But there are large pieces to the people puzzle missing, or darn-right wrong, when it comes to J.Crew Canada. They company itself has paid large sums of money: flights, training documents and hours of training to instill a "people first", "creative" and "inspirational" management within stores. But there is absolutely no one holding these managers accountable to ensuring that the training lives within the stores. Unless you're doing it for the money or the power, there is no incentive to stay in the company as a manager. You can learn things, but there is no development. And a company that doesn't know the difference between learning and development cannot be successful in building a successful international business within Canada.
