CHICAGO, Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PACO Collective, an award-winning cross-cultural marketing agency and one of the fastest growing minority-owned agencies in the Midwest was recently certified as a great workplace for 2019-2020 by the independent analysts at Great Place to Work®. According to the anonymous survey, 82 percent of employees believe that PACO is a great place to work, with 92 percent of the agency's employees participating in the survey.

Employees completed anonymous assessments and rated their employers in key categories from trust in leadership to compensation and benefits. PACO employees rated leadership, work environment and role satisfaction as the highest scoring items.

Why is PACO unique? The agency strives to empower, trust, and value its employees by offering perks such as unlimited PTO and work from home, summer hours and observes 14 holidays throughout a fiscal year. In January 2019, PACO treated the agency to a retreat in Playa del Carmen to show their appreciation of goals exceeded during the 2018 fiscal year. This was an occasion of bonding, laughter and an overall team-building opportunity for employees. In addition to providing a laid-back atmosphere that respects work-life balance, PACO also gives back to the community by encouraging employees to volunteer at local organizations during work hours throughout the year.

In response to the survey one employee mentioned, "Our management team is open to new ideas and values our opinions. It truly is amazing to work for a company that listens to my input, values my work and appreciates my talents both in and outside of the office. As 'PACOs' we really are a family, and I enjoy coming in to work each and every day."

Highlights gathered from the survey include:

91% of employees agree that "I'm proud to tell others I work here."
88% of employees agree that "Management hires people who fit in well here."
88% of employees believe that "Management trusts people to do a good job without watching over their shoulders."

"Our Chief Creative Officer Pablo Acosta and I are humbled and honored to receive this award," shares Ozzie Godinez, CEO. "Great ideas can come from anyone at any time, which is why we foster a casual, vibrant, and inclusive environment, and empower every one of our employees to use their voice to help the collective create and inspire."
