  • Akola Project

    Akola Project is an amazing non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas that gives life-changing opportunities to unskilled women – both in Africa and in Dallas – by teaching them a trade and employing them so they become self-sufficient providers for their families.

  • Careers with Heart: Safety and Learning

    Creating a safe, secure workplace is one of the most important jobs here at The Container Store and no one understands this more than Shain George, our Distribution Center’s Safety and Learning Manager. In this edition of “Careers with Heart” Shain proves he’s definitely on the A-Team of the safety industry. What did you study in school? And what made you decide to pursue safety as a career? I’m a proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2003, where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree

I want to tell you one of my favorite stories about trust in business. Many years ago, our Vice President of Logistics and Distribution, Amy Carovillano, was at Dallas Love Field Airport waiting for a flight to Houston. Amy noticed a woman talking in a very animated manner with the airline’s gate agent. When the woman left the counter, she was clearly unhappy and

    *This post is part of Chairman and Co-Founder Kip Tindell’s Thoughts on Thriving Blog Series. Read other posts in the series here. Hello! You may have heard that earlier this month, we announced The Container Store’s organized succession plan and as part of that I stepped down as CEO of The Container Store to focus more on my role as Chairman. Succession planning has always been a huge priority and something that my mentors encouraged me to have a tremendous focus on – especially for such a

  • Careers with Heart: Inventory Planning & Allocation

    Can a brief, casual conversation alter the course of your whole life? According to our Inventory Planning & Allocation Manager Mark Annerino, that answer is a definite “yes!” In our latest “Careers with Heart” interview he explains how his very first visit to The Container Store changed both his career and his life. He also turns down our invitation to perform a death-defying motorcycle stunt. When you first graduated from college, what did you originally want to do?Well, I wasn’t initially

She challenged us to imagine a world where all children have the opportunity to receive a quality education. With that incredible mission in mind, we’re partnering with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF this summer to help improve the lives of children around the world by ensuring that every child, no matter where they live, has access to a quality
