Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: At Pride Products (asi/299307), everyone works remotely – but you probably can’t tell from speaking to the employees. Teamwork and communication are highly valued, something co-CEO Wendy Ferber says is part of the company’s success. “Pride Products manages to create cohesion in its team through open and consistent communication and cultivates a safe environment for transparency and open exchange of ideas,” Ferber says.
Every employee has the freedom to show up to work as who they are, and their accomplishments are celebrated, not just by other employees but by management as well. Everyone feels so comfortable around one another that Ferber says it feels like one big family.

Top Benefits & Perks: On top of being fully remote and all the standard benefits, employees get to take the day off on their birthdays and participate in virtual team lunches and holiday celebrations. Perhaps the most fun perk at Pride Products? Fun Fridays. Every Friday, a different member of the team is in charge of a virtual call that’s purely for entertainment. “That person can lead it however they want,” Ferber says. “It ranges from fun questions like if you could have any superpower, what would it be and why, to serious questions like what are you thankful for, to trivia and other silly games. It’s a great way for our remote team to connect and get to know each other better.”
