Pluspunten

Decent benefits, cool coworkers, discount is just okay for what prices are now

Minpunten

Low pay, fake woke and openly anti-union, exploitative management. If you're in a customer-facing role and possess a modicum of competence, you will be cross-trained to do everything, given (uncompensated) authority, and expected to do the job of five people. It doesn't matter what your schedule says, it doesn't matter what your job description is. You'll have to explain basic processes and procedures to your own managers who in turn expect new hires to get it all right from the jump. Competence is abused and not incentivized. And it becomes rarer the higher up you go. Processes were constantly changing, sometimes flipping back-and-forth multiple times. New talent is so grossly micromanaged and overwhelmed with duties that the turnover is frankly embarrassing, even for retail customer support. HR is aware but takes zero action. When I started, anti-unionism was baked into the training. This company can't keep its head above the water and will happily push its employees under to try to keep itself from drowning. In the real world, we can't get by on a 60¢/year raise in the major city you require us to live and work in. Lastly, it's already evident that Joel Bines will be no better than Satish Malhotra. Neither understand that if you don't take care of your people first, they have no reason to resuscitate your failing business.

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.
