I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Container Store (Arlington, VA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Easy process. First a phone call from one of the assistant managers, then an in-person one with the General Manager. Both were very easy to talk with. The questions were basic.

Interview
They ask you about yourself. They are different! If you are different then this is the place for you! I would never work in any other retail part-time position. The management works with your schedule and really wants you to grown and learn. They are amazing!
