BONUS PROGRAM
The Mast Store has a very generous Bonus Program* where all employees benefit. Each year, goals are set, and if they are reached through everyone's efforts, then a week's pay (based upon the average hours worked in the preceding quarter) is issued in January, April, and October. Historically, over the last 10 years, the bonuses paid have averaged from three to five weeks of extra pay for each employee.
*Employees must be actively employed on the date that the bonus is paid to be eligible to receive a bonus.
Referral BONUS PROGRAM
Because our current employees know people who would be good Mast Store employees, we offer a referral program to all existing employees. If the recommended employee is hired, the existing employee gets $100 in their next paycheck. When the new employee completes their 90-day introductory period, the referring employee gets an additional $200.
