Pros

Flexible work schedule, great discount on products, open and helpful environment, room for advancement, lots of training, good starting pay for retail

Cons

When sales slow down, there are major cuts to part-time employee hours. The company knows this happens every year and should plan for it throughout the year so that part-time employees are not affected so much. It's impossible to pay bills on 1-2 shifts per week.

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.
