Call it Camelot: “We’re a ‘one for all and all for one’ kinda place,” say’s president Gary Schloss. Indeed, while other companies on our list offer some jaw-dropping perks, this small private-label glove-and-mitten manufacturer delivers with a meat-and-potatoes approach: health care and vision covering 95 percent of costs, paid maternity and paternity leave, 2 P.M. closings on summer Fridays, flexible hours year-round and generous profit-sharing plans. “we try to create a very stable platform so that people can live their lives,” say Schloss. SAIL AWAY: That’s what VP of product development Bill McGown did for six months on his 2002 sabbatical, a benefit granted to Tabar employees on a case-by-case basis.
