Our culture, your future
One of the area's best places to work
Both Washingtonian and Washington Business Journal have named Merritt Group one of the metro area's best workplaces. We know that great people have a choice of where to work, so we treat employees like volunteers and reward them with:
- Opportunities for advancement. In a typical year at our growing firm, 30% of staff are promoted. Every employee gets an annual budget for professional training and development. Even junior employees are introduced to clients as integral members of the team. Quarterly goals and review sessions with managers keep employees on the fast track.
- Financial incentives. Including bonuses for annual company performance, new client referral, new employee referral, and operational excellence.
- An energizing environment. A fitness center, a basketball court, fresh fruit for snacking, a chill out room with TV and pool table—people who work hard are encouraged to play hard.
- Reward and recognition programs. Such as team-building activities, monthly happy hours, and cash rewards for extraordinary client work product and initiatives that enrich life at Merritt Group.
- Opportunities to help others. Every employee gets one paid day off per quarter to volunteer at his or her favorite charity. The agency also provides matching funds for selected donations and encourages teams to get involved in the community through pro bono work.
- Respect for life outside the office. Merritt Group has a Work/Life Balance Committee with real clout. We enjoy flexible work hours and have a liberal telecommuting policy, and we're closed between Christmas and New Year's.
