Pros
The Container Store has a lot of really great people working for them. Co-workers are really the heart of this company and make it enjoyable to go to work. The company is really good about training and offers a great discount and competitive pay as for as the retail industry goes
Cons
Difficult customers -- this store caters to wealthy people that have extremely high expectations and little manners when you don't have the exact product they are looking for. Management is extremely out of touch with the rest of store and have no idea how the store actually operates. Another con is little room for advancement. You have to be willing to give up your life to be a "full timer" or move into a management position.
