Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: Leadership at Bradley + Company (asi/144641) in Ferndale, MI, believes that happiness and satisfaction at work come down to one thing – balance. “Our team is empowered through meaningful flexibility,” says Dana Floyd, director of merchandising and creative strategy. “We offer a hybrid work model and a culture that insists on recharge time. We know our best work happens when we’re balanced.”

Bradley + Company (asi/144641) offers a hybrid work format and unlimited PTO to staffers.

Indeed, Bradley + Company scored well among employees for its flexible work arrangements. “Above all, we’re guided by core fundamentals of respect and value, ensuring every employee and partner feels like a vital part of our mission,” Floyd says.

Top Benefits & Perks: Bradley + Company offers a hybrid work format, unlimited PTO, monthly “coffee chats” for peer connection and a dog-friendly office – visitors are known as “Bradley Barkers.” Leadership also recognizes birthdays and work milestones with parties, encourages work-life balance and hosts impromptu opportunities for friendly competition for prizes, like Bingo games. “We have a true open-door culture,” says Floyd. “We foster a space for honest, hierarchy-free dialogue where every voice is heard and valued.”

Parting Tip: “Focusing on results rather than hours creates more individual ownership and pride taken in the work,” says Floyd. “This also allows leadership to acknowledge the whole person: People aren’t just employees; they’re parents (to people and pets), hobbyists, volunteers and caregivers. Lean into that humanity. Creating a space where people feel seen and supported helps keep stress low and creativity high.”

If Bradley + Company Was a TV Show, It Would Be Chicago Fire. “We see ourselves as a unified front that operates with loyalty toward one another and a strong commitment to the clients we serve,” Floyd says. “High-stakes collaboration is only possible because of our internal team and our supplier partners – they’re the gear, ladder and water that make us look like heroes every day.”
