      Not what I thought - at all.

      Pros

      Pay is competitive for retail, foundation principles are great in theory.

      Cons

      Foundation principles mean nothing, only one is "man in the desert" which basically means selling people stuff they don't need. Worst job I've ever had, I don't care if the pay is decent. I've been worked to the bone physically. I worked an 8 hour morning merchandising shift, worked my butt off was covered in sweat then, after my hour lunch (no breaks, ever) I got to unload palettes of Elfa for the remainder of my shift. After all that, I got coached at how I complain while working, how most co workers think I don't work hard and how I need to "toughen up".

      Pros

      Good pay, great training, and wonderful core values in theory.

      Cons

      Core values do not always translate to real action. Interview processes for new hires are excessively tedious. Lack of accountability and follow up from management.... more about lip service than actual results.

      Pros

      The Container Store offered good pay for part time seasonal work. It was nice to be able to wear jeans and a (company) t shirt to work.

      Cons

      I really didn't have any dislkes about this job. If I had to pick one, it may have been cleaning the bathrooms at closing time, but that's about it.
