Retail Sales Associate - Anonymous employee J. Crew Employee Review

J Crew has recently taken away commission from Sales Associates and has yet to offer any pay increase. Management states that the company has not performed as well as expected recently and has has to cut commission to from sales associates. This provides incentive to drive sales as an employee despite increasingly demanding sales goals. Also, scheduling is vary varied. During the winter hours are minimal and cannot be relied upon for regular income. Expect on call shifts where you have to call 2 hours before the shift to find out if they need you. This proves very difficult when trying to fit in other commitments with such uncertainty.
