Posted by Pacer on 13th Aug 2020
Why it matters?
People tend to forget that they have a choice in where they work. Sure, you can be employed by a company that makes you feel like another replaceable tool in the toolbox, or you can choose to work somewhere that your contribution is valued. This matters as people spend much of their waking time at work, so why not choose the best workplace environment. At Pacer, we strive to create a work environment for all employees that is not only safe but based around family values rather than that of tools in a toolbox. It is concepts such as this that help to set Pacer apart and keep their employees for years, or even decades.
Just what Sets Pacer Apart?
Pacer creates a unique work environment where employees contribute ideas and strategies that directly affect the growth of the company. Pacer also offers a host of benefits that many other companies fail to consider. Beyond the common thing’s employers offer such as vacation, dental insurance, health insurance, 401K investments, and sick time, Pacer additionally offers access to a library of resources. Our employees even have access to a money coach. Employees also have the opportunity to take part in community outreach as well as contribute to community betterment programs. Pacer prides itself on its training and encourages internal advancement opportunities.Below we will take a more in-depth look at some of the benefits that Pacer offers its employees.
Stability in an uncertain economy
With over 40 years under our belt, we still have some of the original team on staff. We believe that creating a stable work environment is one of the best ways to retain quality employees. Pacer understands that all employees deserve stability and job security and we hard work to achieve that. We offer our employees a level of financial stability you won’t find with other employers. By creating a work environment where employees can thrive, we create an opportunity where we, as a business, can thrive as well.
A company culture that reflects family values
Creating a company culture based on family values has been one of Pacer’s goals from the start. Values that include respect, communication, kindness, contribution, commitment, and the like. Every employee deserves to feel like they are contributing to something bigger than themselves, that they are a part of a bigger whole. We also understand the importance of family. We know that our employees have other commitments to their home life, church, and community. This is why we work so hard to create a company culture based around values important to us. When you work for Pacer, more than an employee, you become part of our family.
Philanthropic and Community Partnerships
The community is a large part of all our lives. It affects each and every one of us every single day. It is for this reason that we have always contributed to local philanthropic programs that affect our surrounding communities. Whether it is donating to food drives, getting involved in community betterment programs, or manufacturing masks for those who cannot afford them during a crisis, we seek to help enrich our local areas and the lives of those who live there. This include our employees. When the community as a whole does better, so do all the people there. This is just one of the ways in which Pacer gives back.
More than just standard benefits
Pacer works hard to take care of its employees. We work to give our employees benefits that can help them and their families in their daily lives. We offer competitive health, vision, dental benefits, paid vacation, sick time, and even onsite training. Beyond that, Pacer offers its employees access to a library or resources such as information on financial relief, legal services, work-life matters, and more. We offer access to a money coach as we mentioned before. All employees need to do is fill out an assessment and they can have a thirty-minute conversation with an experienced money coach. Many employers fail to consider benefits such as these. This is how Pacer makes sure that it offers its employees all the benefits that it can.
Opportunities for internal growth
Growing employees through training, instruction, development, and advancement is a strategy Pacer has employed from the start. Why hire a manager for an internal department when we have multiple qualified employees with a strong work ethic, desire to improve, and developed skill set eager for a new challenge? The point is, no one understands the way a company operates better than the people on the ground. It is with that in mind that Pacer looks for employees to grow rather than new employees to hire. When you choose to become a part of the Pacer family you open doors for your own personal growth and advancement.
