I applied online. I interviewed at The Container Store (White Plains, NY) in Jul 2011
Interview
We first participated in a group interview- size varies, my group was I think 9 people. It involved several exercises and question sessions. Then a couple weeks later, we were called in for individual interviews - with questions like: what do you think your special qualifications are for being hired - which involved a relevant manager, then, I met briefly with the branch manager.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
The group interview was a very informative session with other people who have applied to the same position. There was no sense of competitiveness everyone was all around just being themselves and just answering the questions as comfortably as possible. Watched a few videos on the companies principles and learned a lot of information about the store regarding how they treat their employees and customers. Overall easy going interview just go in there and be yourself.
