About The Container Store

The Container Store's selling jobs revolve around custom spaces: custom closets and other built-in storage for any room of a home, which it designs, sells and installs, with its own Elfa shelving as the in-store anchor. Outside sales and design consultants are the in-home seat, a full-time exempt job on a local custom space team that meets customers in their homes by appointment, draws the design in AutoCAD-based tools, closes it and runs the project through installation and organizing, working leads the company passes on alongside referrals and leads they find themselves. The same consultants are now asked to open small B2B and trade accounts, from property managers, home builders and realtors to senior living communities and small offices, for repeat, multi-unit or phased jobs. Inside the stores, designer and sales specialists spend the whole shift with shoppers, selling general merchandise, laying out Elfa plans at the custom space counter and pushing every service (in-home design, organizing, installation, financing, the loyalty program), and part-time sales leaders run the floor on their shifts, holding the daily huddle, coaching the part-time team on selling behaviors and owning the shift's sales and appointment conversion. Openings are in a US store or its local market, and floor seats require weekend and evening availability plus the Thanksgiving and holiday peak.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at The Container Store

Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30
Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: The outside sales and design consultant has the only commission plan: every posting for it states a paid training period of several weeks, then a yearly base draw and uncapped commission, and quotes a top-end take-home figure, while its own overview calls the same pay a base salary with a ramp-up period and a monthly bonus tied to sales. In-store designer and sales specialists and part-time sales leaders are paid by the hour; postings in some states (California, Minnesota, Virginia) print an hourly band, those elsewhere name no figure, none mentions commission or a sales bonus for these seats, and the specialist posting says hours are given based on performance. Ask an outside consultant's recruiter whether the draw is recoverable against commission, how the monthly payout is calculated, how long the ramp lasts and how company leads are split across the team, and ask whether mileage is reimbursed on a role with a wide travel radius; for an in-store seat, ask whether custom space sales carry any spiff and how many hours a week the store actually schedules. The roles listed below state what The Container Store posts now.

Only 7 of its 22 openings post pay, not enough to call a band typical for The Container Store, so the figure above comes from research. What each sales role posts:
