      Pros

      The life-long friendships I have made with past and present employees.

      Cons

      The pay is awful. You're not rewarded for your hard work. A 3% salary raise is an insult to our efforts. TCS does not offer professional growth to loyal employees. The CEO has destroyed the company culture. No work-life balance, so if you have a family, you will receive points on a scale of 5 for missing work due to doctor appointments, illnesses, extra curricular activities for children, etc. Employees in higher ranked positions will gossip to and about you. If you have pending diagnosis for serious illness and take FMLA, your manager/ TCS and insurance provider will fail you causing you to lose your job.

      Pros

      - Great employee discount - Some of the best people I’ve ever met in my career work at TCS

      Cons

      - Lack of strategic planning from leadership leads to a reactionary culture - Little compassion from leadership for overwork/burnout - Continually rescinds benefits like 401k matching due to poor business choices and performance.

      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!
