At Cupid Intimates, creating a safe, secure, and efficient workplace is of prime importance, and is a vital component in all of our short- & long-term planning and operations.  But doing what we can to treat our employees respectfully, include them as parts of our team, and help them enjoy coming to work each day also derive from our core values.  We believe that fostering such a positive, workplace environment has been central to our company’s eight decades of success, and has simply been “the right thing to do.”

At All of Our Facilities,

Our consistent history of good employee-management relations has fostered an environment of cooperation, not confrontation.

We prefer to promote from within our company whenever possible.

We maintain an open-door, communication policy; all of our employees are encouraged to discuss any concerns with all levels of management.

We’ve achieved, and maintained, Tier 3 Status of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT).  As of the summer of 2012, only about 300 C-TPAT importers, out of more than 13,000, possess Tier-3 certification.

What is C-TPAT?  It’s a voluntary, government-business initiative that strengthens American border security while improving the efficiency of the international industrial supply chain.  Find out more about C-TPAT here.”
