The benefits of working in a company like Watchfire Signs go beyond the day-to-day respect we have for our employees, our vendors, and our customers. They include a more tangible outline of offerings that sets us apart from many other employers.

Health Coverage

Group health insurance is effective the first day of the second month following the month employment begins. In other words, if you start at any time in January, your coverage will begin on March 1. Some of the other benefits are:

  

• 75% of the premium for the selected medical plan is company-paid.
• There is an excellent short-term disability plan.
• The employee share of the health insurance premium is deducted via a Section 125 - pre-tax reimbursement account for health and dependent care.

 

Life Insurance

• Company-paid employee and dependant life insurance
• Optional additional employee and dependant life insurance, up to five times salary
• Optional group long-term disability insurance
• Accidental death & dismemberment insurance
• Company travel insurance

 

401(k)

Watchfire will match up to 50% of employee contributions up to 6% deferral of income, with a five-year vesting plan.

 

Competitive Salary

We don’t just pay lip service to competitive salaries; we use Illinois Compensation Data from the Illinois Chamber of Commerce to benchmark salaries and benefits.

 

Holidays & Vacation

In the first year, employees receive 2 weeks of vacation and 3 floating holidays, pro-rated from start date, and the remaining holidays in that year (9 annually).

 

Employees receive 3 weeks of vacation after 5 years of employment and 4 weeks per year after 10 years.
