Employees’ favorite perk: Fun, friendly laid-back environment; free coffee; staffers can bring their dog; outside activities like company picnics and bowling parties.

Tip for finding/retaining great staff: “Offer free beer!” says Kortni Remer, manager. “In all seriousness, value your employees. Remember they’re people, not machines. We give them room to be human. Even the best employees make mistakes. Everyone has bad days. We don’t just say we care about them and their families, we actually do, and they know it.”

Company culture mantra: “We’re one big team – from customer service and art to printers and the shipping department,” Remer says. “We fail together, we succeed together. We celebrate each other’s successes and when something isn’t going right, we ALL work to solve it. No one is alone in their jobs – they have an entire team behind them to help.”
