Pros
Management really wants associates to become acclimated with the specific location, and climate of the company. Associates are given a level of training and autonomy rarely seen in retail. Great opportunity to create a client list and/or experience if one plans on parlaying J.Crew position into a career as a personal shopper at upscale retail establishments.
Cons
Commission-based sales can create a highly competitive and at times tense work environment. The clientele is accustomed to a very hands-on, customer-centric shopping experience, and can be quite demanding and rude.
