Pros

Great atmosphere. Everyone is upbeat and super nice.

Cons

I am trained & certified to work in many areas of my store. I have come to work everyday upbeat, motivated, and gave it my all, and I received very good feedback from mgmnt about my job performance. So when my 1st Annual Review came up I knew I would get a decent raise. Ive also been battling a health condition that got pretty severe last year. The pain I felt with was unbearable at times but I still showed up to work and powered through every shift. After all my hard work blood sweat and tears, I was only given a 2% raise! Being a part time employee, that's comes out to around $5 per week. Needless to say I was devistated. That was the biggest slap in the face. Unfortunately, now I feel like my drive is gone. I've lost my "Mojo" t my last job I received a 50 cent raise after 6 months. The container store gave me 22 cents after 12 months.

Pros

40% Discount on products and gift cards, decent starting wage, health insurance for part-timers, interesting customers, cool vendors and brands, schedule flexibility

Cons

The company has changed a lot in a downward direction since going public, not much room for growth, raises are next to none, favoritism comes into play quite often, things vary tremendously from store to store, the warm feeling of the company has diminished

Pros

Working at the Container Store has been the best Retail experience I've had. Everyone in the store works as a team and is very good at communicating what is going on in the store. The supervisors and managers treat you well, and never act superior, and they have been very accommodating when I've had to make schedule changes due to my class schedule, appointments, etc. They are very proactive about training you for other departments and giving you other opportunities.

Cons

The only con is that I'm not looking for a career in retail, otherwise I think I would stay with the Container Store forever.
