Pros
The Container Store is a fun, high-energy work environment. Guided by our Foundation Principles, we make this company an amazing place to work. You are given extensive training and compensated generously, making doing a great job easy. You are trusted to use your intuition and training to make decisions on your own, something that I really appreciate. The employee discount is outstanding, 40% off general merchandise and 50% off elfa! Overall, The Container Store has created a work environment that makes me EXCITED to go to work everyday.
Kontras
Selling organizational products can be extremely difficult at times, especially when you have to explain to a customer how a product will help them and why they need it. Other retailers have it easier as they sell common items accepted as necessities. Also, because of the set up of stores, it is very hard to move from part-time to full-time. You can't just ask for more hours, being full-time is a big promotion.
