J. Crew Reviews

I completely believe that J.Crew is a great place to work in other places other than Ontario. But there are large pieces to the people puzzle missing, or darn-right wrong, when it comes to J.Crew Canada. They company itself has paid large sums of money: flights, training documents and hours of training to instill a "people first", "creative" and "inspirational" management within stores. But there is absolutely no one holding these managers accountable to ensuring that the training lives within the stores. Unless you're doing it for the money or the power, there is no incentive to stay in the company as a manager. You can learn things, but there is no development. And a company that doesn't know the difference between learning and development cannot be successful in building a successful international business within Canada.

- Breeds a white supremacist culture where white women are constantly being promoted especially in merchandising but bipoc designers/production associates are gaslit and given no voice. - Disorganized - very cliquey, they really hold onto the glory Jenna Lyons days even though that’s what ruined the business. - you will not be promoted unless upper management deems you cool enough - no brand identity, leadership changes constantly so you always have to scramble to redo the line. - no work/life balance - they’re incredible fake when it comes to diversity. They cherry pick POC employees to feature on their page but everyone in leadership is a white woman from cape cod or Nantucket - if you’re black, or brown DO NOT WORK HERE. They will treat you like garbage and make you do 100% of the work If anyone recently listened to the Leandra Medine podcast on The cutting room floor, that will give you an idea of who you’re working for.
