Working for Timberland:

Here at Timberland, things are different from other companies. At our
corporate headquarters, employees work hard to make some of the world's
most innovative products, then use paid time-off to make a difference in
the community. Children play in our in-house day care center. The
committed young people of City Year New Hampshire, a national youth
corps that recently set up shop within Timberland's walls, are hard at
work. And throughout the entire company, it's evident that doing well
and doing good are inextricably linked. 

 

Working here is challenging. It's rewarding. It's fun. It's a lot of
other things you'd associate with a company that's all about the great
outdoors. We get to wear the products we design, and that makes for a
pretty comfortable environment. There are lots of creative and talented
people kicking around great ideas for new products, which means there's
no such thing as a boring day. 

 

Our dedication to making quality products is critical to the success of
our company. But beyond all that, one of our main interests has always
been trying to make a difference - in our jobs, our lives and our world.
We invest in the communities where we live and work and we do our best
to do good by: 

* Offering the consumer a company to believe in and get involved with 

* Offering our employees a set of beliefs they can stand behind 

* Offering the community help and support at all times 

* Offering shareholders a company people want to buy from and enjoy
working for
