Pros

Store leaders are free to act like business owners and make positive impacts for their customer base.

Cons

Payroll continues to be cut and job positions are either shifted or eliminated as the corporate headquarters tries to cut down on losses.

Worst Restructure Of All Time

Anonymous employee

Pros

Discount is ok, co-workers are generally ok.

Cons

1. No advancement -- Company is millions in debt. You'll never climb here. 2. Restructuring -- Just went through a major slash of jobs in all channels. Including the "oh so profitable and bourgeois Madewell". 3. Ageism -- J. Crew's staff base is overly educated and usually of an older demographic, not too old but just old enough to put you in your place, you know-nothing twenty year somethings. 4. Upper management -- Atrocious. HQ is so disconnected from field retail that it's kind of comical. 5. Debt -- This company will not survive much longer. They've cut retail field employees as a first response, that's not a good sign. Do not join this company if you're looking to pay rent at the end of the month.

Pros

Time off Benefits Great coworkers Great work atmosphere Office location Great place to work overall. Easy to get settled and comfortable.

Cons

New CEO HR Lack of bonuses at lower levels Loses its luster after a few years. Stagnant environment but people stay anyway because it's comfortable.
