Pluspunten

awesome employee discount many good products for purchase staff is filled with amazing and hard workers

Minpunten

-company is very behind the times, particularly with technology. almost nothing works the way it's supposed to and technology is inherently flawed. technology is rolled out before it's ready -extremely insincere and deceptive atmosphere. we are constantly told how "great" TCS is to work for when almost all of my coworkers feels extremely under valued and taken advantage of. working conditions do not align with the "core principles" of the company and/or store. -management does not schedule breaks for shifts under 6 hours and has even denied me of my 15 minute break, which is against the law in my state. -poor communication from company and management. -company and my store does not listen to concerns and complaints from customers, until it's too late. -new policies and procedures that start are frequently not with the employees, or even the customers, best interest at heart. -1=3 (1 great employee equals 3 good employees) is just a way to say "we're going to work great employees as much as 3 good employees" which frequently leads to burnout and mistakes from employees constantly being overworked. -health insurance is not great. -dress code does not have the employees health and well-being in mind. we are required to wear black shorts and pants no matter the weather, and we go outside very often. wearing pants and a black shirt in 100°F weather is a recipe for heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
