  • We’re Sticking with Our Love Notes

    This year’s We Love Our Employees Day was one of our best yet. Why? You might ask. Because we kept it simple, the way love should be. Across our Stores, Distribution Center and Home Office we shared our love and appreciation for each other on Post-It Notes! All day—all week really—we wrote simple, sincere, sometimes silly notes to each other to show our love and appreciation. People thanked their colleagues for their great work, for being great team members and for all their awesome

  • Finding and Cultivating a Purposeful Career

    We love author and optimist Simon Sinek, who spoke to and inspired our team at Our Leadership Conference in 2015. During a closing keynote at Retail’s BIG Show Student Program last month, Simon discussed the difference between a job that pays the bills and a career that makes you feel excited about going to work every day. Sinek highlighted awareness, humility, generosity, patience and relationships as keys to building that kind of purposeful career. Watch the video of Simon’s presentation

  • An Employee’s Real-Life Journey to Heart Health

    “Yes, Mr. Reynolds you are definitely having a heart attack.” With those words my entire world came crumbling down. In that moment, the doctor couldn’t tell me whether I was going to survive it. That question wouldn’t be answered for several more days.  Let me back up for a minute. Everything that has been great in my life has happened while I’ve worked for The Container Store. I met and married my wife, Amy, and together we had our beautiful baby, Serena. Last year, that great life almost came

  • Happy We Love Our Employees Day! Share a Love Note to Win!

    We’d like to wish a Happy We Love Our Employees Day to each and every one of our incredible 5,000 employees across the country!!! We just wouldn’t be The Container Store without all of our great employees, so it’s our tradition to celebrate Valentine’s Day as National We Love Our Employees Day – a day of appreciation, love, hugs and thank-yous to our employees for all they’ve done for each other, our company and our customers over the past year. We’re excited about another fun-filled,

  • Careers with Heart: Prime Time

    Tony Stark, the alter ego of Marvel superhero Iron Man, is known for his inner strength, determination, and perseverance in the face of deadly odds. While these traits may describe a comic book character, they’re also descriptive of Alex Alvarado, a part-time employee (or prime-time as we like to call them) at our San Antonio store. In this edition of “Careers with Heart,” we spoke to Alex about how The Container Store gave him the support and perspective he needed to help him pursue his dreams

  • Celebrating 10 Years with The Center for Brain Health!

    When were you your sharpest? If you’re like most people, you are going to say 10 years ago or more. According to Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman of The Center for BrainHealth, part The University of Texas at Dallas, research shows that the brain is dynamic, adaptable, flexible, and repairable! This knowledge, along with a strong commitment to its application, has the potential to dramatically improve the mental capacity of all Americans, regardless of age, even those who have experienced brain illness
