Pros

The discount is great and you gain a lot of work experience. They are also flexible in taking time- off as long as is requested 3 weeks prior and is not around the elfa sale.

Cons

They work you like a dog! You have to work there for 3 years to get a paid vacation and no paid sick time. No full time opportunities. The most phony and unpleasant people I have ever encountered. They might pay you 3$ more than other retail jobs, but they expect you to kill yourself working and they only give you about 12-18 hours a week. Mandatory store meetings where you are surrounded by a cult environment of brown nose activity.

Pros

A full page ad each year in the New York Times declaring The Container Store's love for their employees.

Cons

Terrible communication. Limited hours and uneven scheduling. Poor part time 'benefits'. ZERO chance for promotion and growth. ZERO. You're never going to be doing more than what they hired you for in the first place. No upward mobility. Core values of company are admirable, but all theory and no application.
