OUR COMPANY
		Opportunity. It seems everyone has something to say about it. Some say it's fleeting. Others say it knocks just once. The rest... well, they say it's waiting for you at the end of the rainbow when you join their companies. You've heard all the buzz words - hard work, advancements, new challenges, teamwork - catch phrases routinely thrown out to new recruits by hundreds of retail organizations. But many of today's giant blue chip companies are running out of places to expand and grow. So how real are the opportunities they're promising? Where are they planning to take you? Where do you want to go? Fortunately, Harold's isn't like that. We're what stock experts call a "small cap" company. If you know anything about stock, you know that investors tend to favor small cap companies because of their enormous growth potential. In other words, they believe these companies have new places to go. Where a company goes, so too, go its employees. It takes manpower to swing open the doors to new store locations. It depends upon creativity to increase volume, and energy to find new profits. In short, it takes people like you to take us where we want to be. Deciding where to work is a lot like investing in a company. Investors put in money. You put in talent and energy. If the investor has chosen his company wisely, his money will grow in the shortest time possible. So will you, with the right company. And that's exactly what Harold's is all about. The ability to go places. The chance to grow. The opportunity to better yourself while the company you work for betters itself. We're not a large company. We're not a small company. We are, however, as big as you want to make us.
		OUR PHILOSOPHY
		If there is a single theme to what we do at Harold's, it's customer service. Our products, stores, and most of all, our people are centered around one simple goal...to go one step beyond what is ordinary - to treat customers as guests, and to win them over and keep them for life. There's virtually no end to what we'll do to please a customer. We travel to the far reaches of the earth to find inspiration for exclusive styles that only our customers have access to. We stock cold beverages and offer them to thirsty shoppers. We voluntarily deliver alterations to customers too busy to come to the store during the work week. We phone customers to let them know when a particular style has arrived, because we've remembered their likes and dislikes. We always, always say hello. In fact, we go farther than almost any other specialty apparel store in creating a shopping experience second to none - an environment that's as warm and inviting as someone's own home. It's this attention to detail that explains why our stores are so painstakingly created and manufactured to our exacting standards. Even our employees are specifically trained to enhance our customers' shopping experience at Harold's. We'll take you on a journey of discovery. You'll glean knowledge and skills from professionals by doing hands-on training. You'll collect experiences that will help you not only in retail, but in dozens of other fields. You'll work in a company that recognizes talent, rewards hard work and thrives on input. At the core of our philosophy are people...folks like you - Willing to learn, determined to succeed and dedicated to achieving the highest levels of personal integrity and honesty. Not only is it obtainable, it's profitable. And it's waiting for you at a small-big company named Harold's.
