Pros
The longer I work for J. Crew, the more I like about the company. The company is continually pushing to improve itself. You can tell that senior management has a clear, and structured approach to grow the company's/brand's reputation and standing in the fashion retail world. I have a much better work/life balance since I have started working for J. Crew. I generally work 40-42 hours each week. There have been occasional weeks that I have had to work more, but for the most part, my work week stays at 40 hours. At previous employers, I would generally work a minimum of 45-50 hours in a typical week.
Cons
Some of the systems of the company are a little dated, but as I stated earlier, there is a plan in place to modernize the company.
