Our last meeting of the tour was at Zappos!

Plaid was treated to the ultimate tour of the Zappos facility, which is unlike any corporate workplace that we've ever visited. Anywhere. This is a firm with hundreds and hundreds of employees, yet they've managed to keep a culture and vibe that's consistently ZAPPOS.

Just a handful of the thousands of things that make them awesome:
+ A nap center, with those super-future nap-pods.
+ Employee groups decorate each zone of the office. There were jungles, tents, and more themes than I can even remember.
+ Tony, their CEO, and all the Zappos executives work side by side all other employees, in a cubicle.
+ There's an employee coach, masseuse, and a mayor.
+ Employees have created their own original greeting for any visitor to the Zappos facility. This has to be seen to be believed.
+ Employees (and guests) are treated to free books for continued learning. There's a library in the lobby of books that Tony has suggested, all free for the taking.

The Zappos workplace is a more creative space and culture than most creative agencies of their size. A testament to the fact that you don't have to be in the creative business to have fun in the workplace.

Look for video of the Zappos headquarters on the wrap up show. If you live in Vegas, this looks to truly be one of the best places to work in the country. Thanks to Tony, Jerry (the Mayor of Zappos), and the entire crew for showing Plaid the ultimate Zappos love.
