Pros

Part of a company that once was a leader in their category.

Cons

Communication within this organization is nonexistent. If you expect any internal movement -- your trajectory will grind to a halt. The company touts to promote from within; yet, there is no discussion of succession planning, pathways to success, or any development whatsoever.

Pros

Great brand history. Some smart people.

Cons

Tons of politics. Volatile environment. Pressure to cut corners. The bankruptcy of the whole brand.

Pros

You'll find yourself a nice friend group and get to add J.crew to your resume

Cons

Corrupt internal promotion system - evaluated once a year and promoted every two years. Lack of pay increase annually, at most the standard of living. Lots of gossip among the hire ups that trickle down to all levels of employees which promotes unhealthy moral. You will never be included in higher up conversations yet have to relay all information to the factories discussed at those meetings. Lack of collaboration between teams. (design/product/merch/tech).
