Why You Want to Work There
Employees at this life and health insurance company have the amenities of a small city at their feet. Within the Oklahoma City campus are a free medical clinic, fitness center and restaurant. Yet the "All-Colleague" bonus still tops the list of benefits. Started about 12 years ago, the bonus is tied to the company's monthly financial scorecard. Workers can see whether the company is meeting projections and what it may take to push to new performance levels. From IT executives to data entry personnel, all workers participate in the bonus program. IT bonuses last year averaged approximately 26% of base salary.
