Avantages
You get the chance to work with wonderful people. Most stores have a diverse staff including previous professionals, executives, artist, teachers etc. You have such a great opportunity to learn from your co workers and that's what makes going to work fun. There are also so great customers that really understand and appreciate what the employees do at the container store.
Inconvénients
Management has decided to address current needs to control cost in a dishonest and morale crushing method. Instead of making a decision to lay people off and control payroll expense management has decided to target full time and part time employees based on the compensation and either making life so miserable that some are leaving or for those that havent' been able to find another job yet they are giving very vague performance reviews and and giving constant feedback that no matter what you do it's not good enough. Most of these folks are long term employees that as recently as last year have had constant good reviews and salary increases. It;'s sad that we just can't be honest and do a lay off, control cost and make it possible for the employees to look for jobs as an layed off employee and qualify for unemployement until they find a new job.
