Pros

This was a great company to work for, with awesome employee perks, even for part-time staff. Great people, great company!

Cons

Career advancement is not as easy as described during the interview process, and it would be nice to have a better bonus structure for sales staff.

Pros

I loved working at J. Crew as a seasonal employee. My managers increasingly gave me more autonomy and responsibility as the years progressed, and my hard work was rewarded with a raise and consistent schedule (even during times when store hours were low). Because of J. Crew, I learned how to provide excellent customer service and maneuver tough situations with difficult customers.

Cons

In my store, there was definitely an employee hierarchy. Some employees, like myself, received many hours per week, while others rarely got scheduled to work. It is tough for new hires to prove themselves because they typically work approximately one shift per week.

Pros

Great employee discounts were definitely the best thing about the job. 30% off of everything and 60% off on select items. Also all sale items are 50% off of sale price for employees.

Cons

The normal cons of working in retail. Sometimes the hours are very long and the holiday season can be a nightmare but management does their best to make it as easy as possible.
