HORRIBLE PLACE RUN FAR AWAY!! - Visual Sales The Container Store Employee Review

Pros

I can't think of a single "pro" to working here.

Cons

1. Every single manager I spoke to during interviewing lied to me about the nature of the job. 2. Don't be fooled: "Visual Sales" is a stock position. 3. Extremely physically demanding: unloading truck, literally *running* with overloaded/unsafe carts of boxes to the salesfloor, hours of stooping/crouching while opening & unboxing cartons. 4. Store ignores state labor laws and doesn't allow for ANY breaks until every item is on a shelf, except for managers. 5. Managers don't care if you tell them you are in pain from all of the above.

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.
