Pros

The only benefit of working at J crew Factory was the pay. I was paid and acceptable wage for a full-time position, but was essentially considered a manager in training from the very beginning as my store manager quickly got pregnant after my hiring. I was expected to take over the store and run it for her maternity leave with no pay compensation.

Cons

When I was told I was hired by the company, I let them know immediately I am a full-time student and I'm in my 30s so my priority is school. They were fine with me working around my schedule. I was very pleased at first with their willingness to help me. Not long after that, I needed to update my schedule to accommodate Tuesday and Thursday mornings that I had class. I only needed until noon on those days and could work anytime after. My boss told me that I would have to choose between school and work because they could not accommodate my schedule.
