Pros

The pros I would say are the extremely flexible hours and management is very flexible... I sometimes wonder if management is too leaniate sometimes. The employee discount is excellent, and it is a fun working environment.

Cons

The cons would be that the pay is poor. I am considered a "sales support" associate, so I have one base hourly pay and do not receive commission. The personal shoppers or recently changed to "very personal stylists" are sometimes held on a pedestal.

Fun people, but micromanaging management, and not enough money.

Pros

Most of the people drawn to J.Crew are really fun and intelligent, so working with them is great. It's a good environment. They offer health benefits for part time employees, which is a wonderful thing that all companies should do.

Cons

The pay is so little you can't support yourself with just a sales associate or cashier position. More than anything, there are always too few hours to go around to make a living, but you are constantly on call for them because they don't keep regular schedules, so you give your life's availability to them for around $600 a month.

Pros

Place is fun to work at while in school or right after while looking for a "real job". Great discount allows for you to dress very well at all times. Pay pretty well for amount of work required. Work with cool, young group of people.

Cons

Very unorganized company. They over hire for the store and weed out those who they don't like. Just because you get a job doesn't guarantee you will work much. Make sure you prove yourself from day 1.
