“Hip
factor” earned Arbitech the #1 spot in OC METRO BUSINESS magazine's annual list
of top workplaces.
IRVINE
, Calif., June 19, 2008 —
Arbitech, LLC, the nation’s
leading alternative computer hardware distributor, is one of the best places to
work in Orange County, Calif., according to OC METRO BUSINESS magazine. In its June 5 cover
story, the magazine identified Arbitech’s happy workforce as one of its secrets
to success.Founded in August 2000 on a culture
focused on empowerment, fun and family, Arbitech won kudos in the annual
roundup for having a “hip factor” that includes benefits promoting an active
lifestyle. This work-hard, play-hard culture recognizes achievement and laid
the foundation for Arbitech’s rapid expansion.
“We are thankful that OC METRO BUSINESS recognized our first-class
employees, who drive our year-over-year success,” said Torin Pavia, co-founder
and chief executive officer, Arbitech. “They come to work every day excited
about what they do and where they work. We ask a lot of each other. As a result,
we honor our employees by providing them with company trips every year, catered
lunches every day, an on-site gym and personal trainer, and numerous other
benefits that reward and recognize them.”
In a marketplace where margins are tight and larger competitors
are outsourcing jobs overseas and cutting benefits, Arbitech has continued to
invest in its employees and work environment. Arbitech executives say such
investment boosts the company’s bottom line, and the company has the
credentials to prove it. Arbitech topped Entrepreneur's HOT 100 list in 2004, ranked among the INC 500 in 2004, nabbed a finalist nod in Ernst &
Young’s 2006 Entrepreneurial Company of the Year competition and was named as
one of the top Emerging
Distributors to Watch in 2007 by CRN.
“Our focus on creating a pervasive corporate culture has yielded
huge benefits for the company and our employees,” said Josh McCarter, president
and chief operating officer, Arbitech. “Everyone enjoys working together in a
fun, supportive environment. This has allowed us to grow quickly with virtually
no turnover of staff among our full-time workers.”
OC METRO BUSINESS magazine captured a video showing a day
in the life of this fun company. The video is available on the media outlet’s
Web site at www.ocmetro.com. From
its yellow walls and theme-painted rooms to its NERF dart wars on the sales
floor, Arbitech exudes a positive and productive atmosphere that has supported
the company’s rapid development.
