A good company has good benefits
for its employees. In that regard, local
waste service company J. P. Mascaro & Sons goes the extra mile.In addition to providing what are considered
customary employee benefits in a progressive company (i.e., medical, dental,
paid vacation, family leave, disability, life insurance, bonus program, 401(k)
retirement plan, etc.), the Mascaro company also provides some additional
“unique” employee benefit programs.
One
such program is the Children’s Educational Assistance Program headed by company
Director of Education and Community Relations, Lindsay Mascaro Ptaszenski.Under that program, children of Mascaro
employees are eligible for educational advancement grants and scholarships from
a special scholarship fund that Mascaro established in 2013 to help with the
financial burden of high school, college and university programs. So far in 2015, Mascaro has awarded more than
$40,000 in grants and scholarships for children of Mascaro employees, and
almost $70,000 has been awarded since the program’s inception.
Speaking
to the Children’s Educational Assistance Program, Lindsay Mascaro said,
“Helping our employees with the education of their children is something that
is really important and that our company is happy it can do. This is a program I am particularly
supportive of as the company Director of Education.”
Other
company programs that Mascaro employees can benefit from include an employee
College Tuition Reimbursement Program, a professional Financial Planning
Program, a Legal Assistance Program, and a Health/Medical Care Assistance
Program.
“As
a company, we have always strived to make our employees feel welcomed, wanted
and appreciated, and programs such as the Children’s Educational Assistance
Programs and the others are one way of doing that,” said Mascaro-Ptaszenski.
