Pros

For a part time person the hourly pay is decent

Kontras

If you value a company that in open, honest and truly transparent this is not the company for you. There is a disconnect between the image The Container Store spends so much time and effort promoting and marketing (The Talk) and what it is actually like once you are hired and have to deal with on a day to day basis (The Walk). People are afraid to share ideas and their creative input as they have witnessed far too many times how it gets turned around to mean that they are "uncooperative" or "negative" and not supporting the vision and decisions of the company. It is a completely top-down corporate culture--do not believe the hype. You know those great ratings they get from Fortune? I have had mangers standing over me and others as we filled the Fortune surveys out. We have been sent emails several times just before the due date to mail the surveys "reminding" us of what a great company we all work for and how best to navigate through the questions. We are micro-managed beyond belief...and it is an unnecessarily high pressure environment. If you want a little part time gig you might be fine. If you seek a full time position and/or a careerI highly advise looking elsewhere.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Kontras

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
