When most companies talk about their benefits and rewards programs, they’re generally talking about just that, “programs”. We’ve worked hard to create a work culture and environment that is, well, beneficial and rewarding. This permeates everything we do and so, it is difficult to paint an accurate picture of all the things that make this a great place to work. Often, it’s the little intangible things that make something special and that is definitely the case with us.

One of the biggest benefits to working here that comes to most of our Team Members’ minds is the flexible work schedules. We truly try to work with the individuals that make up our Team to find an arrangement that will work best for them and for the company. Sometimes this means getting creative and thinking outside the box. This has lead to a lot of our Team Members being able to work from home (talk about flexibility). While this isn't possible for many of our positions, it does show the company’s attitude towards being flexible.

Another thing we do that seems to make us different is avoiding overtime. In an era where many corporations have such things as ongoing mandatory overtime, we strive to keep our Team Members to a standard forty-hour work week. We’ve found that people are more productive in the time they’re actually on-the-job and are able to spend more time enjoying their personal lives with their friends and families. After all, isn't that one of the biggest reasons most of us work? That’s not to say we don’t have some overtime on occasion, but that is almost always limited to a voluntary basis and is kept to a rarity through good staffing practices.

One of the highlights of our year is our Annual Employee Appreciation Banquet. This is the time of the year we recognize all of our Team Members for making us successful. It’s a great time to relax and enjoy each other’s company in a different setting than work. Great food and entertainment are the hallmarks of this event, not to mention all of the prizes given out. Everyone always has a great time.

Another unique thing we do is just being there for each other. The company sponsors a Benevolence Fund to assist those Team Members who have fallen on hard times. A committee of fellow Team Members confidentially disperses the money in the fund to those who need it. Thousands of dollars are given away each year. For those needing assistance of a more emotional or spiritual nature, the company has a Corporate Chaplain. This is a wonderful resource whether you just need someone to talk to, a trained professional counselor, or whether you just need someone to inform you of other options or assistance programs.

The list could go on and on. When one of our Team Members asks us for something, whether it’s doing away with a rule that no longer serves a useful purpose or for something they feel would make them happy or more productive, the very first question we ask ourselves is, “why not?”. We constantly find ourselves amazed at the working conditions found out there in business-as-usual corporate America. What kind of company would you rather work for, a “why not?” kind of place, or a “why?” kind of place?

The company’s executive team has developed a comprehensive benefits and rewards program. Protecting our employees financially from losses relating to health and life as well as creating opportunities for financial security are the primary goals achieved with this plan. These benefits are available for each full time employee and partially available to our part time employees, too.
