  • Improving Trust

    Our guest blogger and friend, Bethany Hilton, joins us again for a follow up to her recent post about her choice to seek work at a conscious company. I recently had the privilege of writing a blog post called Finding a Company that Shares My Values in which I discussed the process I went through to search for a job based on the company rather than the job description. When readers asked me why shared values were so important to me, I was thrilled to sit down and put my thoughts in writing. As

  • Finding a Company that Shares My Values

    We connected with Bethany at the Conscious Capitalism 2016 conference in Chicago earlier this year. She’s a 22-year-old passionate conscious capitalist, an account manager for Improving and a dance enthusiast. This is the story of her journey to find a workplace that shares her values… “We are going to be taking the company in a different direction and this is your last week.” At times, those words echo in my head, as it was the moment that launched me into a new phase – job searching. As I

  • Rising Above Challenges at Café Momentum

    We recently had the opportunity to work with Café Momentum, a Dallas-based nonprofit restaurant and culinary training facility that works in collaboration with the Dallas County Juvenile Justice Department. This organization is truly doing amazing things for the local community! Opened in 2013, Café Momentum, the brainchild of Chad Houser, helps youth break the cycle of violence and crime by teaching them marketable skills for a more successful future after they’ve been released from juvenile

  • In Conversation with the VP of Cultural Programs & Community Relations

    This summer I’ve been particularly lucky to intern in what (in my opinion) is one of the most interesting departments of The Container Store – Cultural Programs & Community Relations. A small but mighty team, this department facilitates so much of what makes The Container Store a great place to work, from helping keep the company’s Foundation Principles top-of-mind daily with employees, to managing the Employee First Fund that helps employees in times of need. This inside look at the conscious,

  • Experiencing TCS Culture as a Student

    I just finished freshman year at the University of Texas at Austin as an environmental science major. As my first year of college wrapped up, I began to look for a summer job. I wanted to find something that would be worthwhile and with a company that has strong core values. I have grown up with The Container Store, as both of my parents have worked at the company for a combined 40 years. My father is the Store Facilities Director and my mother is the Logistics Director.

  • An Intern’s Perspective of a Conscious Company

    This summer, as I began my work at The Container Store, I was excited for so many reasons. First, as every employee who works here has at some point probably expressed, I have always loved The Container Store. Going to The Container Store, before I even knew about what a great company it is, has always been a deeply therapeutic experience, from the unforgettably helpful employees to the clean, bright aisles and products. Second, having been exposed to the basics of Conscious Capitalism and
