Of course, what that culture looks like in practice will differ between organizations based on the values, goals and commitments defined by leaders and their teams, but every team thrives through opportunities for continuous learning and personal growth.
At Arrive Logistics, a vibrant culture of growth and development forms the foundation of the company culture.
According to Nicole Stiegal, a senior carrier account representative at Arrive Logistics, the company’s investment in mentorship and professional development not only cultivates talent but also creates a collaborative environment where team members can rely on each other’s expertise. This sense of mutual support empowers employees to take ownership of their roles, knowing that they have the resources and backing to succeed.
The company’s commitment to a strong mentorship program has made Stiegal’s six years at the company particularly fulfilling. As she has grown from mentee to mentor, she has been able to expand her own abilities as a leader and pass along valuable lessons to her team.
“Every year brings new challenges and growth opportunities, and that’s what makes my Arrive career so exhilarating and fulfilling,” Stiegal said.

Describe your company culture in one word.
Vibrant. The energy and passion my colleagues bring to their work is inspiring and motivating — there’s never a dull day at the office!

Collaborating on work and personally connecting with my team has also been a cornerstone of my experience. Everyone is so kind and helpful whenever I face challenges, and I always feel supported by the organization. Arrive’s mentorship program has made getting that help even easier — I can take any question to my mentor and trust they’re going to help me find the answers I need. It’s another layer of support that I haven’t experienced at any other job.
How long have you been with the company, and what professional growth or development have you seen in that time?
I’ll be celebrating six years with Arrive in February 2025. In that time, countless experiences have shaped my professional journey as a carrier sales rep — from being a mentee and building my own book of business to learning what it takes to be a leader while paying my experience forward as a mentor. My current manager was once my mentor, which has been a really wonderful and supportive experience. I’m so excited about my future here.
