The Container Store Visual Sales - Part Time reviews

-The people who work here full-time are definitely a certain breed and tend to be a little overzealous, cultlike and frankly, a little creepy. -The culture can be super campy and unnecessary, such as pre-work "huddles", bingo games to get you to learn and bond, coworkers that are so cheerful it makes your headache. Seems fake and unnatural a lot of the time. Something you need to experience to truly understand. -I found a lot of the training to be over the top (5 hours of learning about ELFA closet measurements and other information you won't possibly retain, for example) -If you are a register sales person, good luck. You are required to "capture" every customers e-mail, every transaction, and are closely watched for your percentages. You WILL be called out if you suck. Expect to lie to customers and tell them it's "not for marketing, but it's for return purposes!". Also have to ask for their zipcode and phone number. Many customers get bristly and find it invasive. It's a nuisance doing things to people you personally know you would find annoying, but an otherwise easy and sometimes fun role.

Almost impossible to move up in this company. Barely any Full-Time positions, so if you're Part-Time and want to advance, you'll be waiting a long time.
