What We Love

When snow days, short breaks or MIA caregivers leave kids on their own, mothers at this media and marketing services company may bring them to any of six on-site family rooms, where they can watch movies or play with toys and computers. If moms prefer to find a temporary babysitter or child care center, all they have to do is call the company’s resource and referral service for suggestions. In some cases, parents may even be able to stay home to look after their children. Employees get at least 10 days of paid time off per year, plus 11 holidays, a floating day and unlimited paid sick time (which can be used to care for relatives). Anyone who wants to take more time off before big holiday weekends is able to do so, for a price: a donation to a company fund for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
