Pros

One of the things that drew me to The Container Store was that it offered such a great benefit package. They offer health insurance with no minimum hours which is a huge draw, as other stores, such as Starbucks requires that you work at least 20 hours a week. They also pay more than most retailers, however, you realize that you are working very hard for that money, and I think in the end the money isn't really worth it. They also have a relaxed dress code, which can draw in people, employees get to wear jeans and store t-shirts.

Kontras

Container Store claims in their hiring process that they will work around your schedule, but please don't take this at face value, as you will be scheduled on days when you say you cannot work. And they do their schedules 3 weeks in advance, so if you need any kind of flexiblity with your schedule, you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. Also, they make it very difficult for you to switch shifts with other employees, claiming that it's just too much work for the management. However, I don't understand if you go to them and say "Jane is picking up my shift on Thursday from 5-10 pm" why that is such a huge problem.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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.
