Maccabee, the national public relations and social media marketing agency located in the Warehouse District of downtown Minneapolis, was chosen as one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” by Minnesota Business magazine. The magazine said that Maccabee and the other 99 winners “set the standard for leadership, benefits, best work environment, innovative training programs and employee happiness.” Among the corporate culture elements that stand out at the Maccabee agency: annual retreats and outings featuring private chefs, blues guitar anthems and sleight-of-hand magicians; in-house training and professional development events featuring guest speakers from Twin Cities advertising, mobile marketing, online video and search engine optimization agencies; unlimited free soda pop and an ever-refillable Candy Bowl of Temptation; a remote-control disco ball; generous health, dental, IRA and other employee benefits; monthly therapeutic in-office massages from Sister Rosalind Gefre Massage Centers; WorkFit Sit-Stand computer workstations for the most possible ergonomic comfort; and a jukebox filled with 1950s Chicago blues and Motown soul classics.
