We hire by our five core values, and they guide everything we do. Every interaction with a customer, every interaction with each other, everything we create. Work Ethic, Integrity, Professionalism, Passion, and Perfection.

At TI we’re proud of the family environment, where we encourage positive feedback and support for our team members and an atmosphere of camaraderie. We operate as one crew who are always striving to row in the same direction!

TI ensures every employee has a healthy work-life balance by offering a generous amount of PTO (paid time off), paid maternity/paternity leave, paid holidays, employee birthday holidays, and bereavement leave, as well as flexible work schedules.

TI encourages charity work and volunteering via our IMPACT1 initiative. Employees are allotted 20 hours of volunteer time annually to help the community during work hours. We also volunteer regularly as a group at Hope Mission, a local soup kitchen, as well as at local schools and the Boys and Girls Club.

Imagine popping down to the beach to catch a few waves or stroll along the sand during your lunch break. Fresh ocean air, the sound of the surf breaking against the shore, warm summer evenings on the pier . . . what's not to love about working at the beach!

At our HQ there’s an outdoor recreation area with cornhole boards, and we also offer on-site massages and off-site yoga. Employees can use the company bicycles to enjoy the bike paths of Emerald Isle during their breaks or lunches, and they can get reimbursed for gym membership.

TI offers a comprehensive benefits package to every eligible employee, with 85% of employee premiums paid for medical, dental, and vision insurance. We also offer free life insurance, AFLAC, a 401(k) with discretionary company match, profit sharing, and a discretionary cash balance plan.

Although the company is still young, we’ve already been honored with many awards: Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America (5x), Inc. Best Workplaces of 2017, NC Top 100 Private Companies (2x), NC Mid-Market Fast 40 (2x), Eastern NC Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, and 2018 CAI Ovation Award for Corporate Social Responsibility.

Past quarterly events have included an island-wide scavenger hunt, company fishing trip, and a bowling outing. We also have fun at holiday events like Halloween costume contests, Secret Santa, potluck lunches, and holiday office decorating contests.
