      "Air of Excitement" wins

      Pros

      People genuinely enjoy working at TCS. The Container Store has a great set of core values that is constantly reiterated. ("Air of excitement") Full time, part time, and shift leaders all perform the needed tasks as a team. The starting pay is pretty good compared to other retailers. There is great incentives to help recruit (around 400 bucks)

      Cons

      Sometimes work hours can be variable, but management gives a heads-up. At times it may feel like people are "too nice" but you get used to it.

      An enriching experience not usually found in retail

      Visual sales - part time
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility, strong peer support, continuous training, teaching beyond the job, encouragement from management, empowering, competitive compensation. Overall working here is good, especially for a college student (see flexibility) or as a second job. They give what they get, and are very fair.

      Cons

      High expectations, which is not necessarily a con (see Advice...). During some shifts, especially ones that time sensitive (truck unloads and morning processes), individuals may be pushed to their limits--both physically and mentally.

      Pros

      Working at the Container Store has been the best Retail experience I've had. Everyone in the store works as a team and is very good at communicating what is going on in the store. The supervisors and managers treat you well, and never act superior, and they have been very accommodating when I've had to make schedule changes due to my class schedule, appointments, etc. They are very proactive about training you for other departments and giving you other opportunities.

      Cons

      The only con is that I'm not looking for a career in retail, otherwise I think I would stay with the Container Store forever.
