What We Love

Kids get excited when Mom works for this toy manufacturer, which promises discounts and theme park passes, holiday parties, summer picnics and “fun” office areas with video games and widescreen TVs. But mothers perk up when they hear about the on-site gym and day care, flexible schedules, unlimited tuition aid, lengthy paid parental leave and $10,000 in annual adoption benefits. Equally appealing is the fact that the company’s mentoring and professional development programs take their family goals into consideration. “Any anxiety about how having children would affect my career could not have been further from the truth,” says senior director Tristann Tamayo, mom of a toddler, who has been promoted twice in three years.
