Business outlook
Pros
Open communication, a very positive work environment, sure things are tough in the retail industry these days, but where are they not? The Container Store is known for paying store employees almost double the retail industry average, so it is very tough to beat that. For the past ten years The Container Store wins one of the top spots on the best places to work lists and that speaks volumes as those are anonymous surveys. The turnover is almost non-existent, and that compares to the retail industry average that is over 100% per year. The company has a lot going for it.
Cons
You have to like the retail industry and it is not for everyone.
