Pros

The type of cliental as oppose to working for Kmart Walmart Old Navy

Cons

Additional discounts to students and educators even though JCrew hires lots of Students and Teachers who aren't able to benefit even though the employee discount might not be as good as customers...pretty pathetic, Adult working employee makes same hourly wages as an 18yr old.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
