Differentiating Practice:1) Family day at the water park each summer -- free admission and lunch for employees and their families. 2) Holiday party in January for employee and their guest. 3) Employees park off site, but the company provides a shuttle van and driver to pick up-drop off employees to their cars. 4) Employee discounts when purchasing a vehicle, purchasing parts, or servicing their vehicles. 5) Employees receive coupons each month good for one free car wash. Coupons can be given to their friends and families. 6) Health Reserve Accounts -- new program in 2006.
