MindSpring enjoyed a cult like following with its employees and subscribers. It was known for having a very casual atmosphere, with employees on a first name basis with everyone else and no dress code. In its first few years, MindSpring grew with little paid advertising and relied on satisfied users and employees to spread the word and bring in new users
The office environment at MindSpring is quite different from that at other companies. Employees are encouraged to express themselves in their workplace. Employees are also permitted to bring pets into the office, and furnish one's own room with various accessories.
Employees of MindSpring still consider themselves part of a large family. Ex-employees occasionally throw Christmas or reunion parties in the Atlanta area.

Famous quotes containing the word employees:
“I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me. The human problems which I deal with every day—concerning employees as well as customers—are the problems that fascinate me, that seem important to me.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
