The Container Store reviews about "training"

I was asked to help out on the sales floor

No A/C in TEXAS, only fans that they hesitate to turn on resulting in extreme discomfort. Low pay. Management is awful and genuinely doesn’t care about you. Anti-union baked into orientation because of course. 1 = 3 = 1 doing the work of 3 people. CONSTANT System issues that they “can’t control” resulting in everyone playing catch up via mandatory 10 days for a week & threats of it bleeding into the weekend too. Management has no problem gaslighting you or making you feel bad for wanting to go home or downplaying any frustration you have. Training is done entirely at random and there is no choice to opt out of anything. Seems very much a dead end job to me.

Minimal training, does not supply uniform, useless 6 hour online training, dearth of activities

- Unstable financial history makes working there slightly nerve wracking, but new executive leadership has been transparent and strategic about improvements and new policies.

unknown way for career progression

Some can get a little lost in the corporate culture, mainly upper management. (read: cult like)

Low pay which really should be reviewed

I applied because I was not getting the hours I was promised by my other part-time retail job. During the hiring process, they said I could work as many hours as I wanted, up to 29 hours per week. They did not mention until I was hired and asking for my hours that hours are dependent on how many customers you get to sign up for the rewards program. As a cashier, everyone I checked out who was not a part of the rewards program and did not want to be counted against me. Customers who are already a part of it don't factor in. I could check out 40 people in a shift, only have 5 who weren't part of the program, and only get 2 of them to sign up, and I would be penalized for that with my hours. If you work floor shifts and sign people up on the floor, it's able to boost your score since you don't interact with non-rewards members who don't want to join the system at all, but I was never offered floor shifts. They expected a 60-70% conversion rate, which is not realistic. Most people who want to be part of the program already are, and those who aren't typically aren't willing to even hear your 20-second pitch about it.
