Pros

The best thing about working for the Container Store is the people. The majority of the staff is well qualified problem solvers who excel at customer service. The benefits that are offered to employees is also very good. Part time employees can qualify for health insurance, and the company offers a 4% match to 401k contributions.

Cons

The major downside of working full time for the Container Store is the schedules. The time restrictions on the full time staff allow for very little personal time on work days. It is extremely hard to accomplish personal goals when working full time at the container store. The final item is the level of interaction the management has with the staff. The management team spends too much time in the back room, and too little time on the sales floor with the staff.

Pros

The people that I work with make me want to come to work everyday. The discount is great!

Cons

The retail hours and working weekends. The current economy is also a bummer. When the economy was better, there was a lot less stress in the workplace.

Pros

Great on the job training, good health insurance, open communication is encouraged, good pay compared to the average retailer (but then you're expected to do a lot more than your average retailer)

Cons

The managers can be a little un-understanding, like when you need time off for work due to personal issues (sickness, pregnancy, etc.). The full-time employees seem to be favored over the part-time, or prime time-as TCS would like to call it.
