It seldom happens that Fameco employees depart, but in the rare instance that it does, it serves as a good reminder of what great place Fameco is to work. During a recent exit interview, an employee said, “The Partners at Fameco care. They really listen to the employees.” This same employee said that in the past few years when times were tight, Fameco continually tried to provide its employees with extra perks in an effort to boost morale and keep the company motivated. It’s true. Fameco has worked very hard to maintain a workplace that is upbeat, provides motivation for its salespeople and employ- ees, and is a place where its people don’t mind spending time. At Fameco, there are lots of big things that make Fameco a great place to work like the fact that Fameco continues to grow. In mid 2011, we opened an office in Center City Philadelphia.
