At my first job out of college, turnover was so high that no one got a desk nameplate and rarely did anyone order business cards. Why bother?
That turnover said a lot about the company: the atmosphere was toxic, the management was jaded, and the pay was ridiculously low.
That horrid experience is actually part of why I now appreciate working at Monitronics. In addition to my very own business cards, I get to see 34 employees celebrate 10 or 15 years of employment. With the same company! Fancy that. And this is what I think that says about Monitronics: employees are valued, pay is fair, and the culture is outstanding.
To commemorate these anniversaries, we had a snazzy little luncheon at the Omni Park West Hotel in Dallas today. The celebrants dined and were each recognized for their service to Monitronics. Ten-year honorees received a ten-year pin, certificate of appreciation, and a $500 debit card. Fifteen-year honorees received a pin, certificate of appreciation, a $1,000 debit card, and two paid days off.

This is impressive, and I hope that my company will one day reach that point where a majority of employees have been here for more than 10 years.
