NON-TRADITIONAL BENEFITS

Employee Referral Program

Pride will reward an employee making a referral $50 when the referred applicant is employed and active for a 6-month period.

Employee Stock Ownership Program

Since January 1, 1998, employees have been rewarded with shares of stock.  At the beginning of each year an independent appraisal is conducted to determine the updated value of each share.  The value has really grown due to the contributions from Pride and the high performance level of the company.  Employees must be vested with 5 years of service, with 1,000 hours of service worked in each year, to be eligible for the value of the shares.

Employee Hardship Program

Pride’s Confidential Hardship Program is designed to provide financial assistance when employees are faced with unexpected burdens.  This can be due to any financial emergency within the immediate family.  The amount of money distributed will be on a case by case basis.

Employee Assistance Plan

An Employee Assistance Plan is available to every employee (full-time or part-time) to provide advice and counseling during times of need. This service allows up to three one-on-one visits with a licensed professional per issue type.  This service is free, easy to access, and 100% confidential.

College Scholarships

Pride has established a scholarship program for the children of all employees who are full-time and have completed one year of service.  For your child to qualify, he/she must be a post-secondary applicant.  Selection of winners is based on various factors such as GPA, goals, achievements, community involvement and letters of recommendation.  $500 scholarships are awarded to chosen participants.

Service Awards

Pride recognizes those who reach service excellence at anniversary milestones. Employees that have 5, 10, 15, and 25 years of service are rewarded with a gift. Employees achieving 10 or more years are honored at a yearly 10+ service event and receive the day after Thanksgiving off.
