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).

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
