Best Places to Work: Datamax

Datamax is a single-source technology partner for office equipment, print management, document management and network management solutions. The company’s slogan, “Creating Raving Fans,” represents its mission and promise to provide customers with incredible service. To achieve that, Datamax nurtures a company culture that empowers and celebrates employees.

Datamax allows any paid time off that is unused within the year to be rolled over into the employee’s 401(k). If an employee leaves the company before being fully vested, the money the company put in gets disbursed among all employees. The company puts in 50 percent of the first 4 percent that the employee elects and then 25 percent of the next 2 percent. Datamax also offers an assistance program, which can help employees and their families with things like stress management.

Employees are recognized for their years of service. Those who have been with the company for five years, and every five years afterward, receive a plaque and get to choose a gift of their choice. The Annual Awards, Datamax’s annual company meeting, recognizes employees who have received special training, made top sales or received new certification.

Other perks include chair massages on payday and free tickets to local sporting events and the state fair. Datamax also hosts raffle contests and offers free coffee for all employees. The company allows employees’ families to attend game nights that include Wii bowling, Baggo and Trivial Pursuit.
