Pros

20 days pto given every year plus 6 holidays and great benefits Easy going company that promotes internal growth Support by corporate, always getting thank yous and chocolate baskets which was a nice surprise.

Cons

Not much. New product collections once a month means one overnight a month. Visuals are constantly changing which makes for a large workload.

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

The only positive thing that I may say about J. Crew, is the fact the associates get an amazing discount. The job is very, very easy.

Cons

Here is the downside about working for J. Crew. The pay is HORRIBLE!!! We as associates are barely making ends meet. The DM has changed their mind about giving fulltime to assoicates, even though we are still working fulltime hours. The level of respect from management to the associates, is down right rude, condensending and unfair. We are all grown ups that work in the store, but we are snooped upon and spoken to like we are children. We are made to feel very dumb and plain stupid. We as associates in this store, find the upper management to be very, very snobby and ill mannered. I have worked in retail for 17 years, and this job ranks as one of the worst jobs I have had. We work so hard in that store and we get the J. Crew cards and we are never given thanks. We worked over nights last week for the CEO to show up. He showed up alright, just not in our store. We were the last on his list and he had to catch his personal jet back home to NY. Talk about a major let down"(
