Do you enjoy being abusive and getting it back in return? Then Crate and Barrel is the place for you.

Pros

The ONLY reason to work for Crate and Barrel is to get discount on home furnishings if you just moved into a new home or you are getting married.

Cons

UNBELIEVABLE incompetence - several of the low level managers I worked with were functional illiterates. If you enjoyed 4th grade, you will do well at the stores. If not, ....oh well.

Pros

the discount. the autonomy.the view.

Cons

the inexperienced bosses. the utter lack of forward thinking management. the pittance of salaries. the time my boss said"so remeber,you're lunch hour lasts 45 minutes". it wa lost on her that they call it a lunch hour for a very simple reaso. it lasts an hour.

Pros

Crate & Barrel is a beautiful place to work...a place where the customer is put 1st. A place where friendships are born with the staff and the frequent customers that come in. If you love talking about merchandise with customers this is the place for you.

Cons

To be quite honest the pay is not the greatest. Promotions....you know the saying "it's all about who you know"....well here it's more like "how much are you liked" it's almost like a sorority. And Diversity....forget about it, in mangement @ the moment there are hardly any minorites. One more thing there are too many women which could lead to a lot of cattiness....a place that does not always put value on hardwork.
