NEWS: Pepperjam Wins Best Company to Work For Award
A few days ago we were notified by Happenings Magazine that we were named one of the best places to work for in Northeastern, Pennsylvania (NEPA).
NEPA has a population of over 1 million people and hundreds of cool businesses, it just so happens that Pepperjam is apparently the best place to work for!
Pepperjam is honored to be recognized as a kick-ass place to work.
Honestly, I’ve travelled the country numerous times and visited some of the coolest work environments ever, including several trips to the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA, and there is nowhere else I’d rather come to work everday than Pepperjam.
In a company press release Michael C. Jones, Chief Operating Officer of Pepperjam said, “In traditional work environments, employees drag themselves into work everyday and have fun and relax on weekends. Not at Pepperjam. At Pepperjam we have consciously created a work environment where people can have fun and enjoy life all the time.”
Happenings Magazine cited a ping pong table, a stocked refrigerator of Who’s Your Daddy Energy Drink, and a Nintendo Wii in the Pepperjam lounge as only a few of the reasons why Peppejam employees love coming into work everyday.
The magazine noted that Pepperjam gives all employees free membership to the YMCA, free pizza every Friday, and has a relaxed dress code that includes jeans, flip flops, and baseball caps. Also noted was that on any day of the week, Roxy, a two-year old English Bulldog, can be found running around the office playing with or begging for a treat from any of Pepperjam’s 80-plus employees.
Happenings Magazine, published since 1969, chronicals local and regional history, tourism, and events in Northeastern, Pennsylvania. The publication is free and has been one of the most read magazines in Pennsylvania for over 38 years.
This is the picture the magazine used when announcing our award:

Congrats Kris!! Although I love working over here at the Mediaplex (also known as my appartment…) - there would be only 2 places I would rather work at -> The Googleplex, and the Pepperplex! Love the athmosphere going on in your office!

[…] Not surprisingly, Happenings Magazine recently showered an award on Pepperjam as The Best Company To Work For in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Though that does not encompass the East Coast speculated by me in an earlier post, this still is a great achievement for such a young company. […]
