Pros

great merchandise, great employee discounts, great co workers, good place if you need a place to work while you look for another job or to work part time at in addition to another job.

Cons

They are better than other retailers-which isn't saying much since retail is such a bad workplace unless you are at the top getting all those big bonuses. Yet, don't get too excited about this place. They tell you the world-including that you have a career there--but it's really bogus. If you want to marry the Container Store and have it be your whole life -then you'll do fine. If you want both a life and a job--fuggetah bout it.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
