Pros

When I first started working here, there was a great balance. You would receive the requested hours; generally, everyone could work without complaints.

Cons

I'm unsure if the container store will be around for 2025. Upper management has no experience working in stores, so they only care about bringing in these brands that no one buys. They cannot provide the stores with adequate hours and leave employees stranded on the floor with little help. They want employees to push custom spaces but do not have the hours for proper Elfa training. If you are applying here in 2024, please look elsewhere that at least has a decent future business outlook. If you are fine with working 4 hours a week, then this is a great position!

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
