A Career at The Container Store

Stores

       

Most employees begin their careers with us in our stores, and many continue to build their careers there for years, since that is the true lifeblood of our business. Our store positions offer the best introduction to our products, service standards and company values. When customers walk into any of our stores, they immediately sense the "air of excitement" that exemplifies the entire company. This excitement is fostered by the spirit of our store employees.

Customer service is The Container Store's core competency, so hiring people who are self-motivated and team-oriented with a passion for customer service is key. We place so much importance on service that every first-year, full-time salesperson receives about 263 hours of training—in a retail industry where the average is about seven hours. And training continues throughout an employee's career.

Our salespeople do not work on commission; instead, they're either salaried or paid by the hour with wages far above the retail industry norm. Therefore, they often work together in teams to find that complete solution for the customer, which allows them to spend as much time as necessary to help customers find what they need.

From full-time positions to family-friendly schedules, The Container Store will work with an individual to match his or her career desires. Whether you work in a high-paced visual sales position merchandising the store, or as a salesperson creatively working with each customer, your experience is equally exciting.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
