Avantages

Pay is higher than the average retail. Health benefits are available to all employees. They also offer pet insurance. Great discount policy. Fellow employees are like family. Most product quality make it easy to sell

Inconvénients

They do not have employee parking, so you have to walk at least 1/2 mile if you drive or 1/4 mile if you ride the train or pay $6.00 a day to park in a lot. Things started great 4 years ago when the theory was to take care of your employees. But the last year changed dramatically. 1 equals 3 is the official motto. One great employee equals 3 regular employees, but that has now changed, unofficially, it is 1 equals 5. Being a two story store, it needs to be staffed with at least 4 to 5 people to give good customer service, but there were many days we only had 3 to 4 people, having on on the register, and one on the second floor and a manager. So many times customers complained there was no one on the sales floor to help. Not to mention the unrealistic sales goals, yes, I know they are in the business to make money, but too much is spent on changing the store layout every few months...they should save the money on the labor of the constant changes and keep the money on the employees so that we can service the customers! I could go on and on about the changes in the store, but I won't, better to use my energies elsewhere.

Avantages

The Container Store has the most thorough training process of any company I've worked for. The environment was nice, and my coworkers and managers were all great. The employee discount is significant.

Inconvénients

I applied because I was not getting the hours I was promised by my other part-time retail job. During the hiring process, they said I could work as many hours as I wanted, up to 29 hours per week. They did not mention until I was hired and asking for my hours that hours are dependent on how many customers you get to sign up for the rewards program. As a cashier, everyone I checked out who was not a part of the rewards program and did not want to be counted against me. Customers who are already a part of it don't factor in. I could check out 40 people in a shift, only have 5 who weren't part of the program, and only get 2 of them to sign up, and I would be penalized for that with my hours. If you work floor shifts and sign people up on the floor, it's able to boost your score since you don't interact with non-rewards members who don't want to join the system at all, but I was never offered floor shifts. They expected a 60-70% conversion rate, which is not realistic. Most people who want to be part of the program already are, and those who aren't typically aren't willing to even hear your 20-second pitch about it.
