Office Report Card: Threadless.com
Threadless is home to one of the youngest millionaires. And with good reason. Threadless is quickly growing in popularity and people are becoming aware of the brand. I’ve been a fan of Threadless for about two years now (gosh, has it really been that long?) and I own probably about 10 - 12 Threadless T’s (I love those $10 dollar sales). With that said, I’m sure many of you reading this have heard, or own a piece of Threadless. I’ve always been curious to see what it’s like over at SkinnyCorp, and how someone under the age of 30 would run a multi-million dollar business. Turns out, I wouldn’t be disappointed as Threadless has one of the coolest offices I’ve seen.
Exterior Look:
I did some searching for Threadless’s main office building’s exterior but couldn’t find any shots. I found plenty of shots of their retail store in Chicago, but that doesn’t count. I won’t count this against Threadless. N/A (lack of real exterior shots)
Interior Look:
Uhm, can I get a job please? Threadless has one of the coolest offices I’ve ever seen. It’s as cozy as 50 foot ceilings and brick walls and hard tile floors can get. There’s a recreational area that has a ping pong table, large television, arcade cabinents, bean bags…it’s like working at home. There is still lots of empty space though, and I feel as though it could potentially be utilized better. I’m not sure how, but at the end of it, it still feels like you’re in a big warehouse.
But that’s not what I’m really eying. I’m talking about “The Pod”, the coolest personal office I’ve seen in a long time. The pod is built inside of an Airstream Trailer (correct me if I’m wrong) and is modified on the inside. The result is probably the nicest, coziest working spaces you can have. I could talk about how cool Threadless looks for hours, but I’ll just let the pictures do the talking. A-
Employees? Threadless has employees? I thought it had to be work to be an employee? It’s more like Threadless has friends who have fun every day and … oops, a $50 million bucks ends up in the bank at the end of the year. Everyone looks extremely happy. And no wonder why. What’s cooler then having a 20-something CEO who makes tons of money, loves his staff, and has a passion for art? There’s parties, social gatherings, live bands, neon lights, ping pong tables, Macs…blah blah blah. A+
Environment:
The environment is what makes Threadless what it is. I wouldn’t expect an office that looked any different then the one they have. After all, the company breathes art, and depends on it. Throughout the entire office, you’ll see Threadless schwag, wall art, and young employees that give Threadless that “fun-to-work” feel. Even though you still have concrete pillars, rafters, and an industrial flooring. A
Furnishings:
Let’s see…I’ve got a ping pong table, a pool table…a bunch of love seats, couches, and lazy-boys…oh yea, a 50′ television…some nice Apple computers. Wait, where’s the teleporter and Segway? hah. Threadless makes a conscious effort to make work feel fun and cozy, something I think they’ve accomplished easily. A+
Overall:
Threadless. Oh how I love your company. You’re an inspiration to entrepreneurs, designers, and young aspiring individuals throughout the world. You’ve got one of the coolest offices that any employee could ask for, and you deliver the best products. Furthermore, you continue to grow and prosper. You’re employees love their jobs and your execs are human. It’s without a doubt that I reward Threadless with an A+. I would’ve expected nothing less.
Overall: A+
