The Container Store Visual Sales Associate reviews

Seasonal employment for the container store is definitely not worth the pay at all, you spend most of your time training which is really just watching the CEO talk about his great success in TCS its literally like just watching a cult leader on tv once a week of 3 hour training classes are done you are thrown into the merchandising shifts depending on your store you might start at 5 or 6 very high pace theres not one moment you have to yourself its a constant running back and forth until you get your 10 minute break. Other shifts include Visual and sales which is just doing your usual retail like work filling in shelves down stocking and talking to customers. Managers are always in the breakroom drinking coffee and talking literally do nothing but hold a key and huddle you in. full-timers are doing the same job as you, you clean bathrooms in closing shifts and the breakroom for the pay its not bad but seasonal hours are horrible, you have to be available for them 24/7 and they just end up giving you 10 hours a week. This was nothing like what you read on Forbes, Selling elfa is the only thing that matters in the long run if you can suck up to your managers show up for 3 hours shifts and persuade someone from buying a spice rack to a whole new pantry than this is the job for you.

They don't believe in unions, and if you're one for social justice and equality, TCS unfortunately doesn't care. They pride themselves on paying their staff $12 because you'll be doing the job of 4 people. You have to clean the bathroom, which stinks, but hey, you're getting paid $12 an hour instead of $8, so be thankful is the mentality.
