The North Face Lifestyle

This week at work, I finally finished organizing the Fall 2013 samples for our company's reps. One of the reps, Pete, came in this week and made his selection of what he is going to take on the road with him to show to his accounts. We receive samples of everything from The North Face in almost all of the colors offered, but the reps pick and choose what they want to take with them. Each rep takes care of different areas of the Mid-Atlantic, and the types of accounts vary. Some of the reps handle more lifestyle-based accounts, some are running and performance accounts, some are ski-shop accounts, so it all depends on what they think their clientele would be interested in. 

One thing I have really appreciated working at The North Face is the enthusiasm for the company that my co-workers have. Everyone I work with skis, snowboards, runs, bikes, does yoga, and any other type of athletic activity that you could possibly think of. So they not only work for the brand, but also wear the brand 24/7 and can talk about The North Face products from personal experience. I am very athletic, but no where near to the extent that my co-workers are. It's awesome to work for a company that technology and performance is at the core of everything that they do, as opposed to fashion and style being the basis of the company (like most other clothing companies). It's been a whole new outlook to work for a company like The North Face. It's great to work with people that are so committed to the brand.
