Each month our Customer Loyalty Team participates in activities that work on learning and living each of Zappos core values. This past month they participated in a piggy bank contest that incorporated core value #2 - "Embrace and Drive Change."
Each team built a bank, and then tried to see which team could collect the most change. All the money collected was donated to the Nevada Childhood Caner Foundation. Here is Lauren C. showing how her teams bank works.
I certainly appreciate that Zappos has some very admirable core values. However, when driving from Denver to CA this past weekend, I noticed both directions through Las Vegas (home of Zappos headquarters) that Zappos had many miles of "adopt a highway" signs for advertisement. Unfortunately it appears that Zappos is not taking this responsibility seriously and may be using these signs only for advertising. The highway--including parts that were supposed to be cleaned by Zappos--was the trashiest part of the trip from Denver to Palm Springs by far. Trash bags, broken glass, beer cans, you name it. It's sad that Zappos is espousing some very good values but on this particular one, is just not following through.
