I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store in Sep 2013
Interview
The hiring process was very relaxed and laid back. The managers and everyone was very easy going and personable. I was asked back for the 1:1 interview two days after the group interview. The 1:1 was great! I was asked very typical questions related to retail/customer service. The process took a little longer then normal because the manager was on vacation the week I was waiting to hear back regarding the offer. I did receive the call, and I accepted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would your past employees or managers say about you?
It was a fairly long process starting with a group interview and then on to several individual interviews. The group interview entailed selling a product to the rest of the group. They want to see how you handle interactions with other people. They also do a background check and a drug test. Overall, they are very thorough.
