A few years ago our founder, Kevin, saw a "Thug Life" t-shirt and jokingly said we were living the "Plug Life". It stuck. Since then we've made t-shirts, stickers, mugs, and postcards all with our Plug Life graphic on it. We encourage our team members to wear their Plug Life t-shirts to work and on work outings. We say "Plug Life!" when high-fiving or fist bumping. It has become a part of our company culture.
We don't just say we're excited about empowering American manufacturing. We actually mean it. Our philosophy is that there is more to work than just earning a paycheck. Everyone wants to feel that their work matters and that they are contributing to something bigger than just making a faceless corporation rich. We live and breathe Plug Life here at Bridgeview. In everything that we do, we make sure that we are rooting for our customers and lifting them up them with our hard work. It fires us up when we can support veterans who are trying to break into a very competitive market. It motivates us when we know we are helping a husband and wife realize their dream of working in renewable energy. We feel proud when we can help a tiny tech start-up land a multi-million dollar contract. What motivates you? Below: We have reminders scattered throughout our shop, helping us remember why we do what we do.
