At CURiO, people are the heartbeat of our business. There would be no Thymes or Capri Blue without the collective passion and commitment of our employees. We consistently strive to return the same care that our employees bring to CURiO every day.
As a company that helps consumers enhance life’s big and small moments through fragrance, we are in the business of self-care. And we share that focus on self-care within the company as well. It’s how we balance our AMBITIOUS cornerstone. We work hard to deliver our mission and vision, but we also value taking time to care for ourselves.
We work at CURiO for many reasons, such as our love for our products and our coworkers. Among the many other reasons is CURiO’s welcoming, friendly culture. We are growing quickly, but we are still small enough to know each other’s names and help each other celebrate individual successes.
We pride ourselves on the CREATIVITY of our employees. From the chemists who mix intriguing fragrances and the designers who create stunning vessels to the operations teams who overcome obstacles to get our products to customers both quickly and safely, we celebrate CURiO innovation.
