Culture

Autonomy. Respect. Dedication. Integrity. Collaboration. Success.

Fundamentally simple, yet surprisingly rare

Ask random editors, account executives, support personnel, circulation experts, graphic designers and other Trade Press team members to describe the company's corporate culture in one word, and this is just a sampling of what you'll hear.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a work environment that fosters professional latitude and mutual respect necessary for personal and company-wide growth. Complementing that philosophy is an emphasis on sustaining a healthy and positive work-life balance for all employees, including:

  • Results-oriented, challenging work
  • Recognition for contributions and achievements
  • Flexible hours
  • Relaxed dress code
  • A creative and stimulating environment
  • Strong, involved leadership
  • Ample support and resources
  • Company outings, events and celebrations
  • Friendly, respectful rapport among co-workers
  • Support for professional development through conferences, seminars and workshops
  • Team atmosphere
 

We're not the best by accident.

We hire the best and the brightest
At Trade Press, the best are people with character and drive that mesh with the organization's team-centric framework. Some of our staff even can remember reporting to work as far back as the 1970s. Balancing out the company, our employees born around that time bring innovation and creativity to the table. The high level of career satisfaction equates to exceptional continuity for our customers and audiences alike.
