In their own words
“We help our customers accomplish their storage and organization projects and make the most of their homes by offering thousands of ingenious products and solutions coupled with knowledgeable employee support,” says Melissa Reiff, CEO.
About the culture
All employees get health insurance regardless of the number of hours they work. They also receive a 40 percent merchandise discount and a 50 percent discount on elfa products.
Employees say
"Everyone who works at TCS is genuinely working to make our company the very best we can be. The individuals I have the privilege of working with are really amazing -- they are like family. Everyone cares about each other and is collaborative and positive. There is very little politics."
"I am surrounded by the best in retail, which makes me want to do my best."
"I get to work with so many bright and motivated people who are all working toward a common goal -- the success of The Container Store -- without ego. The sense of team and ownership for the company's success makes it a fantastic place to work."
Good works
The Container Store gives back to the community with a focus on nonprofits that promote women’s and children’s health and well-being – organizations that our customers support and are passionate about. From product and gift card donations to cash sponsorships and employee volunteer time, the company says it strives to be a good corporate neighbor.
