Pros
Crate has a great reputation for excellent customer service. They strive to stock high quality product that is a good value and modern design. Unlike most retail jobs, they only ask for one weekend day allowing you to still have a personal life. Decent discount. Extremely flexible schedule for part-timers, still relatively so if you are full time.
Cons
The computer systems are ancient, slow and embarrassing to use. New product roll-out is so backwards it's frustrating to merchandise. Inventory management is not regulated well, so stock levels are never reliable - especially when there is a promotion offered. Sales associates are expected to perform so many varying tasks - re-stocking shelves, organizing shelves in the stockroom, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the salesfloor - that they often are unable to to the job they supposed to be performing, giving good customer service and selling product. Management at the store level is extremely clique-y. You may be an extrememly hard worker and go above and beyond the call of duty, but if you are not one of the annointed few, it won't be noticed or appreciated - so don't bother.
