Pros

Information sharing as far as sales goals, projections, and earnings. Discounts are reasonable, especially on sale items ( 50% off).

Cons

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.

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.
