Non-Traditional Benefits

Employee Referral Program

Pride will reward an employee making a referral $250 when the referred applicant is employed and active for a 3-month period.

Employee Stock Ownership Retirement 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 performance level of the company. Vesting is based on years of service, which is defined as a calendar year in which you work at least 1,000 hours. Partial vesting starts at 2 years of service, with full vesting after 5 years of service.

Employee Assistance Plan

Pride offers an Employee Assistance Plan which provides up to three free counseling sessions per issue to all employees and their eligible dependents for issues such as marital conflict, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, personal loss, anger, time management and stress. A variety of self-guided mental health resources, coaching and life services are also available including Financial and Legal consultation.
