Employee benefits worth asking about

In a competitive hiring environment, whether you’re considering a new job or offering one, it’s more important these days to discuss benefits that set an employer apart.

Here are three examples of some things local employers are bringing to the interview table:

– The Big Sea marketing firm pays 100% of its team members’ health insurance.
