Visitors to Adam & Eve often find themselves surprised. The company is based on a 10-acre site in historic Hillsborough, North Carolina - operating from our 110,000 sq. ft. warehouse and a three-story office building. It is one of the largest private employers in Orange County, North Carolina with a diverse staff of nearly 375 people, including recent high school and college graduates, new parents and white-haired grandmothers. Apart from signed posters of adult stars and representatives in the call center praising the merits of a new video, there's very little on the surface to distinguish Adam & Eve from any other company in America. But the company promotes a very employee-friendly environment, as demonstrated by a high retention rate. Great benefits like half-day Fridays, personal days throughout the year and quarterly performance bonuses promote a rare family-like atmosphere at Adam & Eve that's the envy of companies throughout the nation.
