FAMILY VALUES
The Marlo Way – our 5 Core Values – is the heart of our philosophy of valuing everyone’s contribution to our success:
1. Commitment. With new challenges every day, we’re pushed to expand our boundaries and better ourselves. We help each other and are optimistic about the future.
2. Respecting Ourselves and Others. We respect customers (by listening to them), coworkers (by doing our best and pulling together), and the community (by giving back through our many charitable works).
3. Caring. The Golden Rule is alive and well here. A recognition program and profit sharing plan reward employees for getting the job done well. When we make mistakes, we’re not afraid to say “I’m sorry.” And, of course, we care for our employees with exceptional benefits.
4. Be Sales Driven and Cost Conscious. We’re constantly reinventing ourselves – as both individuals and a company. Training and educational assistance programs help individuals grow and innovative new programs keep the company growing. Accountability keeps everyone responsible for the company’s – and each others’ – best interests. We strive to always model The Marlo Way.
5. Have Fun While Getting Stuff Done. While serious about our jobs, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. A positive attitude, good communication, and an “if it’s to be, it’s up to me” mentality mean nothing’s impossible. Sales contests and special events like picnics and parties keep things fun and interesting.
Compensation & Benefits
We are committed to taking care of our Marlo Family members in every way, from competitive wages to an incredible benefits package* designed to enhance our employees’ quality of life in every way: promoting health, providing security, managing finances, balancing commitments, encouraging growth and celebrating success.
COMPENSATION
At Marlo, your earnings are only one portion of your total compensation package, but it’s the one many people are most concerned with. After all, the other benefits won’t pay your bills.
• Competitive wages
• Referral incentive program
• Bonus opportunities
PROMOTING HEALTH
Healthy employees not only feel better than those who are not at their peak, they are also more productive, and contribute to controlling health care costs for everyone. So it’s to everyone’s advantage for us to promote wellness among our most valuable asset: our employees.
• Choice of health plans, including vision benefits
• Choice of dental plans
• Flexible spending accounts for healthcare expenses
• Paid sick leave
• Drug-free and smoke-free workplace

PROVIDING SECURITY
Being healthy and earning a good living doesn’t necessarily buy peace of mind. Knowing that you and your family will be in good hands during the rough times – through an extended illness, a death, or any other crisis in your family – can be invaluable in your ability to function day-to-day.
• Company-paid group life insurance with accidental death & dismemberment
• Optional life insurance for the entire family
• Company-paid short term disability
• Optional long term disability

MANAGING FINANCES
In addition to providing for your economic and financial needs now, we want to help you along the way to financial independence into retirement as well, and we believe strongly in giving back to our employees for their part in making our company successful.
• Profit sharing plan
• 401(k) retirement plan with generous 10% company match
• Direct deposit
• Generous merchandise discounts
• Interest-free employee loans
BALANCING COMMITMENTS
We know that work is only one aspect of who you are and what is important to you. Sometimes, it gets tough to balance all the different roles you’re asked to assume. To make it as easy on you as possible, we’ve developed an extensive package of benefits designed to help you manage these various commitments.
• Paid vacation
• Paid holidays
• Paid bereavement leave
• Paid jury duty leave
• Flexible spending accounts for dependent care expenses
• Flexible scheduling
• Military leave
• Family medical leave
ENCOURAGING GROWTH
Being successful at your work is dependent on being able to learn and develop new skills and new processes. Growth leads to self-fulfillment, job satisfaction and opportunities to advance in your career.
• Opportunity for advancement
• Training programs
• Educational assistance plan
CELEBRATING SUCCESS
Having fun is one of our core ideologies, and what better way to have fun and to reward employees for a job well done than to recognize achievement and celebrate the important events in our lives.
• Annual awards luncheon cruise for exceptional achievement and length of service
• Employees of the Month awards
• Employees of the Year awards
• Birthday and anniversary incentives
• Milestone anniversary gifts
• Holiday parties and company picnics
* All of these benefits are available to regular full-time employees; many are also offered to regular part-time employees.
