Los Angeles is notorious for commuter traffic, but these 20 eCommerce companies are worth freeway driving to get to. We looked at mid-sized eCommerce companies in the city of angels and picked the best of the best – companies with cool missions and even cooler office cultures.
Here are the 20 water coolers you’ll want to hang out at.
Honey
There’s no shame in shopping for deals. And the Honey app has made it easier for people everywhere, with alerts set up for price drops on items you’re watching or automatic coupon code retrieval at checkout. Lots of perks come with working at Honey HQ including noise-canceling headphones, office lunches, vintage arcade games in the office and more.
Tradesy
You may remember doing a tradesey at the school cafeteria for a PB&J in place of tuna. But today, the Tradesy app is letting consumers sell their clothes for cash. As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. The sunny Santa Monica office has ocean-view balconies with WiFi, daily catered lunches and is dog-friendly.
Dollar Shave Club
The founder of Dollar Shave Club realized that guys needed to stop using their girlfriend’s pink razors in the shower, man up and invest in some high-quality cartridges of their own. This subscription razor company gives employees access to an in-house barber, car washes, a full-time barista and meditation classes. We’d shave our legs for that.
Winc
Not everyone gets to have a personal wine coinneseur picking a bottle for them at dinner every night. But the next best thing would be a subscription to Winc, a curated vino of the month club. The HQ in Playa Vista has perks like a stocked kitchen, more methods of coffee consumption than Starbucks, tons of natural light and of course, a personal wine delivery every month.
