Culture Back to Careers

Arden’s high performance culture is a source of pride for our employees. Everyday, we strive for greatness in our product while inspiring lasting relationships with our customers and each other. We are dedicated to working in holistic teams from Supply Chain to Design and from our corporate office to our plants, in an effort to gain new perspectives and implement creative and forward thinking solutions. The team at Arden is made of employees that have worked at the top companies in their fields and cover a wide range of industries including Consumer Products, Retail, Manufacturing, Design, Engineering, Finance, Automotive, Transportation, Logistics, Advertising, and Defense. Our employees use these past experiences to share best practices and drive toward the ideal strategy for Arden as we work to deliver new and exciting outdoor living options that put people back in touch with nature. Our commitment to an open environment encourages the fluid and free-flowing exchange of ideas, support, and recognition throughout all levels of personnel and across all Arden locations.

Collaboration & Exposure

Arden promotes a collaborative environment where colleagues learn from each other daily and gain exposure to all processes, departments, and products. By openly sharing ideas and knowledge among all employees, we have built a company destined for continued strength and success. While most companies’ employees have cursory exposure to the rest of the business, fully cross-functional teams are an everyday part of life for each Arden employee, which drives constant learning and improvement.

Connectivity

From day one, Arden encourages every decision to be made not just with our products, retailers and consumers in mind, but with connectivity to our fellow employees as well. Every Arden employee strives to build professional relationships with each level of the supply chain, be it a vendor, a partner, a plant, a retailer, or their colleagues. Keeping in an entrepreneurial spirit, Arden believes that our people are world-class experts, so we encourage every employee to voice their ideas related to all aspects of both business and the supply chain.

Diversity

Part of what makes Arden so dynamic is the variety of backgrounds and experience of its employees. We understand that diversity is an integral part in anything and everything we do. We welcome diversity regardless of its nature. We are all equal at Arden and respect one another for who we are, not what we are. We strive daily to create a safe workplace where fairness, equity and non-discriminatory practices are guaranteed.

Recognition Programs

Thinking creatively is a philosophy that Arden embraces wholeheartedly. We reward this way of thinking with our Recognition Programs and celebrating success. Everything from new ideas to determination is recognized by the A-Team award, which can be given by any employee to any employee and is considered one of the most prestigious forms of recognition company-wide. The way Arden recognizes the efforts of our employees, both as peers and innovators, sets us apart from other companies. We work hard, but it is always recognized and rewarded.

Safety

Arden is vigorously committed to providing our employees with a safe work environment at all our locations. Extensive safety training is performed at each of our manufacturing locations and regular disaster drills are carried out across our network. Because of everyone’s careful attention and adherence to regulation, our facilities proudly maintain stellar safety records, ranging from 1 year at our Rancho Cucamonga facility to 17 years at our Sanford, NC location.
