Avantages

Good pay Decent people Nice store in general Cold Theres food in the break room almost all the time

Inconvénients

Seasonal employment for the container store is definitely not worth the pay at all, you spend most of your time training which is really just watching the CEO talk about his great success in TCS its literally like just watching a cult leader on tv once a week of 3 hour training classes are done you are thrown into the merchandising shifts depending on your store you might start at 5 or 6 very high pace theres not one moment you have to yourself its a constant running back and forth until you get your 10 minute break. Other shifts include Visual and sales which is just doing your usual retail like work filling in shelves down stocking and talking to customers. Managers are always in the breakroom drinking coffee and talking literally do nothing but hold a key and huddle you in. full-timers are doing the same job as you, you clean bathrooms in closing shifts and the breakroom for the pay its not bad but seasonal hours are horrible, you have to be available for them 24/7 and they just end up giving you 10 hours a week. This was nothing like what you read on Forbes, Selling elfa is the only thing that matters in the long run if you can suck up to your managers show up for 3 hours shifts and persuade someone from buying a spice rack to a whole new pantry than this is the job for you.

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.
