J. Crew reviews

It's hard to deal with micro-managing individuals who make it miserable to be at work. I'm working on commission-obviously I want to have good sales. The woman really was horrible to employees and had no life outside that store. She created a stressful environment for customers to the point where people felt hounded and not relaxed when they were shopping. She had us pouncing on people right and left. Very uncomfortable for us and customers. Our sales weren't good overall for the region either--shocker.

When I started at J.Crew there was an "across the board" management re-structuring. It became far less personal between Employer-Employee, meaning less flexibility on hours, and days availability. The professionalism and competency of management was laughable, even at the flagship Manhattan store that I was working for. Overnight floor sets, inventory, and re-stocking became nearly impossible.
