Non-Traditional Benefits


Employee Referral Program

Pride will reward an employee making a referral $100 when the referred applicant is employed and active for a 3-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 Assistance Plan

Pride offers an Employee Assistance Plan which provides up to three free counseling sessions to all employees and their eligible dependents for issues such as marital conflict, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, personal loss, anger, time management and stress. Financial and legal consultation is also available.


College Scholarships

Pride has established a scholarship program for all employees who are full-time and have completed 1 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, 20, 25 and 30 years of service are rewarded with a gift and receive their anniversary date off. Employees achieving 10 or more years are honored at a yearly 10+ service event and receive the day after Thanksgiving off.
