Cabinet Maker Treats All 800 Employees to Company-Paid Caribbean Cruise

Description

Some people get an extra paycheck for Christmas, others don't get any Christmas bonus at all, but employees of Bertch Cabinets got one of the best Christmas bonuses that we've ever heard of. Around 800 employees from Bertch Cabinet boarded the Carnival Victory cruise ship at the Port of Miami on Monday. The cabinet manufacturer based in Waterloo, Iowa decided to reward its workers with a company-paid trip around the Caribbean after the company recovered from the recession. The employees of the cabinet making company were first treated to one night in a five-star hotel in Miami, before being whisked away to the dazzling waters of the Caribbean for five days aboard the Destiny-class cruise ship. The sun-kissed sojourn will include stops on Key West in Florida and the Mexican island of Cozumel. Gary Bertch, the company's co-founder, offered his employees the trip after reportedly challenging them to meet certain goals last year. Prior to 2005, the company had offered its workers cruise trips every year from 1989 onwards, but were forced to stop the programme due the economic downturn.
