Vantaggi

The employee discount. 'Nuff said.

Svantaggi

My manager was very sensitive with regard to correcting bugs in the code he had written in the past. I found a major bug in a program that he had created and corrected it, and that was the end of my career at The Container Store as far as he was concerned. The CIO doesn't know how to say no to the user community and is seldom available for face-to-face encounters by mere mortals such as myself. The marketing department only wants data that 'tells them what they want to hear,' rather than what the actual reality is. The shiny, happy face that The Container Store presents to the public is not representative of the way they treat the employees.

Vantaggi

The Container Store has the most thorough training process of any company I've worked for. The environment was nice, and my coworkers and managers were all great. The employee discount is significant.

Svantaggi

I applied because I was not getting the hours I was promised by my other part-time retail job. During the hiring process, they said I could work as many hours as I wanted, up to 29 hours per week. They did not mention until I was hired and asking for my hours that hours are dependent on how many customers you get to sign up for the rewards program. As a cashier, everyone I checked out who was not a part of the rewards program and did not want to be counted against me. Customers who are already a part of it don't factor in. I could check out 40 people in a shift, only have 5 who weren't part of the program, and only get 2 of them to sign up, and I would be penalized for that with my hours. If you work floor shifts and sign people up on the floor, it's able to boost your score since you don't interact with non-rewards members who don't want to join the system at all, but I was never offered floor shifts. They expected a 60-70% conversion rate, which is not realistic. Most people who want to be part of the program already are, and those who aren't typically aren't willing to even hear your 20-second pitch about it.
