Additional Culture Details
We have spent the last 101 years creating and nurturing a strong work environment that has kept multiple team members at the company for 20+ years. In an economy where people are offered incentives to move to other companies, we retain current team members and attract new ones because of the benefits available to them and a company culture they want to be a part of. Thanks to the leadership of Laura, Markstein’s President, our team members enjoy multiple benefits that are generally only found at large corporations. We offer superior health and welfare benefits, support an incredible wellness program that includes a dog-friendly work environment with three to four dogs on any given day, an on-site gym, free on-site trainers and boot camp programs, time during work to exercise and be part of walking and hiking clubs, an employee garden, and free massage and chiropractic care weekly. Everyone here is treated like family. Team members feel supported, appreciated, important and part of the Markstein family. Laura is hands-on in showing appreciation, but hands off in letting team members feel ownership of their jobs and roles. We celebrate with team members when they have new babies and graduations and provide additional support when they are managing illness, adult parent care or needs for children. To sum up our culture, the statement we often hear repeated by our team members is, “It’s like a family here”.
