Pros
Generous employee discounts, previews to upcoming products/marketing schemes, generous 100% discount on a few items to "wear to work" after 60 days of employment, the company prefers to assist customers and make sure they are comfortable, the sales commission is low (5%), the company does not put a high amount of pressure on associates to make a sale, but rather to insure the customer has an enjoyable experience. Sales associates are not expected to be "security" or confront anyone for loss prevention. A manager is always on-site.
Cons
The health plan for part-time was cut; almost all of J. Crew's associates are part-time so this impacts a lot of people. Very few stores offer full-time positions. Some stores have outdated computers, which have frequent crashes. Parking is not validated or compensated for workers.
