CashStar Named One of the Best Places to Work in Maine for Eighth Consecutive Year

PORTLAND, Maine, Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CashStar, a Blackhawk Network business and market leader in gift card ecommerce solutions, has been recognized as one of the 2018 "Best Places to Work in Maine." Founded by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the awards program surveys companies' workplace policies, practices and demographics in conjunction with employee feedback to determine which employers stand out across the state.

"The importance of creating a positive, engaging work environment cannot be understated. Our CashStar employees have directly testified to their workplace satisfaction, and we are pleased that efforts to show them appreciation and acknowledge their value are working," said Suzanne Kinner, group vice president, human resources at Blackhawk Network. "Our Maine team members are exceptionally talented and committed, and we will continue to invest in and cultivate a culture that salutes and rewards our employees' efforts."

CashStar offers its employees an array of benefits, including competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, opportunities for growth and upbeat office perks such as free on-site yoga, ping pong tournaments and fun company outings. The business also encourages employees to take paid leave each year to volunteer in their communities.

"Offering free yoga classes, flu shots, snacks, and team celebrations make for a great work environment," said Elias Eder, sales development representative at CashStar. "But CashStar has gone above and beyond to earn its ranking as a Best Place to Work. CashStar truly recognizes that its greatest asset is its people. This is made clear through the way we are encouraged to bring our own ideas to the table, be creative and work independently. When you feel valued as a team member, being personally vested and going the extra mile every day just comes naturally."

CashStar is located in Portland's historic Old Port district, and was a Maine-based startup that was acquired by Blackhawk Network in 2017. This is the eighth consecutive year it has been recognized by the "Best Places to Work in Maine" awards. Winners were officially announced at a ceremony held on October 9, and will be profiled in an upcoming issue of Mainebiz.
