Tour of Zappos!

Posted by kim on January 16, 2009

I’m back from Viva Las Vegas – great trip!  One of the highlights of my trip was getting a tour of the Zappos.com headquarters, and all I can say is WOW! To deliver WOW through service is one of Zappos’ Ten Core Values.

I was amazed at the excitement of the employees, and the fun work environment, from the complimentary cafeteria lunches to the napping room.  It looks like an awesome place to work! Tony, the CEO, was out of the office, but his desk is among the rest of the employee’s cubicles.

At the end of the tour, everyone received a complimentary bookbag and book of their choice from a collection of books that Tony personally recommends.  I picked out Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t by Jim Collins. I can’t wait to read it!

Above, that’s a picture of my foot on the Zappos logo on the shuttle that picked us up. See more pics from the Zappos tour and my trip to Vegas on Flickr.

Special thanks to Lori of Las Vegas Net Daily for setting up the tour for us! If you are ever in Vegas, I highlight suggest setting up a tour of Zappos – it’s fun and free! Now I want to tour the distribution center in Kentucky!
