"I was employed for J. Crew for 2 months and was never scheduled to work at all. I left my previous retail clothing employer for J. Crew in hopes of moving up the retail ladder, however it was the most unprofessional and confusing experience in the 5 years I have been working retail. I had no way to contact any managers or the store other than calling the store directly or driving to work. It was an absolute waste of time for a college student that needs to work!"

"The most unfair company, the management doesn't care at all. They care how to make money for the company and push you for their credit cards. Very rude coworkers, for the on call shifts you can't make any other plans, most of the time they don't need you."

"I liked working in J.Crew and would recommend people to work there."

"I loved working with JCrew and learnt new things and also had a wonderful team."

"Production at JCrew is a very monotonous job. NOT for creatives."

"Incredible IT organization. The people are incredibly supportive of cross functional endeavors, and management does their best to accommodate for interests in other IT teams as well as other organizations within J.Crew. The hours and work life balance is wonderful and overall the IT organization operates very closely. They give you a lot of freedom to complete side projects as long as your main focus is completed."

"Good Company to work for but going through a lot of change."

"I've worked at Jcrew for about 1.5 years, spread over a 3 year period. My immediate bosses were mostly nice and generally hard workers, though management was constantly rotating and generally precarious. Management beyond them was seemingly out of reach to a general employee, and their practice of emailing store management with updated labor hours based on sales performance meant that, to a general employee, they were just a boogeyman (or the store manager's scapegoat). This relationship between management and sales clerks leads to a generally divided and somewhat toxic work environment."
