Pluspunten

Good pay Decent people Nice store in general Cold Theres food in the break room almost all the time

Minpunten

Seasonal employment for the container store is definitely not worth the pay at all, you spend most of your time training which is really just watching the CEO talk about his great success in TCS its literally like just watching a cult leader on tv once a week of 3 hour training classes are done you are thrown into the merchandising shifts depending on your store you might start at 5 or 6 very high pace theres not one moment you have to yourself its a constant running back and forth until you get your 10 minute break. Other shifts include Visual and sales which is just doing your usual retail like work filling in shelves down stocking and talking to customers. Managers are always in the breakroom drinking coffee and talking literally do nothing but hold a key and huddle you in. full-timers are doing the same job as you, you clean bathrooms in closing shifts and the breakroom for the pay its not bad but seasonal hours are horrible, you have to be available for them 24/7 and they just end up giving you 10 hours a week. This was nothing like what you read on Forbes, Selling elfa is the only thing that matters in the long run if you can suck up to your managers show up for 3 hours shifts and persuade someone from buying a spice rack to a whole new pantry than this is the job for you.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
