Comprehensive Benefits Program

Macfadden realizes that an employee benefit program is an important piece of an employee's compensation package. We offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits program designed to meet the needs of our diverse staff. We are continually evaluating existing and future benefits, with the well-being of every employee in mind.

We Strive to Provide a Work/Life Balance

At Macfadden, we recognize the benefits of maintaining a balanced work/life. Today’s increasingly hectic environment makes it difficult for employees to balance work demands and personal responsibilities. To help our employees reduce stress, maintain harmony and increase job satisfaction, we offer paid leave for vacation, sick and personal time. Macfadden also provides leave for federal holidays, bereavement, jury duty and military leave. We offer the following special programs: Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for Healthcare, Dependent Care, Parking and Transportation; Employee Legal Service Program; Employee Assistance Program and Employee Referral Program.

We Protect Your Future

As stakeholders, Macfadden employees become owners through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The company succeeds as a result of our employees’ efforts, and through the ESOP our employees and their families personally benefit from Macfadden’s success. In addition to the ESOP, Macfadden offers a comprehensive 401(k) Plan including corporate matching contributions. Both the ESOP and the 401(k) are qualified retirement plans for the benefit of all full-time employees.

We Keep You Healthy

Because we understand the importance of maintaining healthy employees and families, Macfadden contributes to the majority of the premium costs associated with our multiple health programs. Our national and international medical, dental, vision and prescription drug programs can be individualized to suit the unique needs of our employees and their families. Each health program offers a comprehensive network of participating providers. These programs present various levels of coverage and employee contributions.

We Help You Prepare

Macfadden helps our employees prepare for life-changing events. Unfortunately, unexpected illnesses, injury or death can occur. Macfadden pays the premiums for life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. We also offer company paid short-term and long-term disability programs. These programs serve our employees and provide their families with a peace of mind when the unexpected need to replace income occurs.

We Reward Outstanding Work and Help You Succeed

In today's competitive marketplace, our employees' ongoing professional development is vitally important to Macfadden in order to remain competitive. We recognize that those employees who continually update their skills are personally fulfilled, therefore producing at a higher level. Educated employees have greater opportunities for career advancement. Macfadden is committed to continued career growth and offers its employees ongoing opportunities for professional learning and development through our Training and Tuition Reimbursement Programs. We recognize and support employee accomplishments by rewarding outstanding technical and professional achievements through our Incentive/Bonus Award Programs.
