If you love organization, you'll love TCS - Anonymous employee The Container Store Employee Review

Pros

From training to working on the sales floor or with stock- my experience at TCS was awesome. You will develop the feeling of pride with the company and it's products. They pay and treat you well so you can treat others well. I really loved working at TCS (it's a plus if you love the store already, and if you don't- you'll learn to)- this job spoiled other retail jobs for me for sure. Casual attire is awesome- though I was never really fond of the aprons the sales team wears. It's definitely a positive and uplifting environment to be a part of.

Cons

It requires labor and commitment to be a dedicated team member. This is not a job where you sit around and look pretty, you will definitely work. If organization is not your thing, you will either learn to make it your thing or you'll be miserable stacking boxes, that's for sure.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
