      Pros

      The employee discount. 'Nuff said.

      Cons

      My manager was very sensitive with regard to correcting bugs in the code he had written in the past. I found a major bug in a program that he had created and corrected it, and that was the end of my career at The Container Store as far as he was concerned. The CIO doesn't know how to say no to the user community and is seldom available for face-to-face encounters by mere mortals such as myself. The marketing department only wants data that 'tells them what they want to hear,' rather than what the actual reality is. The shiny, happy face that The Container Store presents to the public is not representative of the way they treat the employees.

      Friendly environment, prioritizes staff safety, and offers several benefits.

      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.
