A similar set-up in Dublin anchors European operations and sales and Taiwan serves as the base for Pacific Rim presence. Approximately 125 new employees added their talent to the pool last year and Lance Allega, Viking's Public Relations Manager, expects about 150 new hires this year. Allega asserts that South County makes a sensible home for Viking because the employee base lives down here. Viking is nothing, if not employee-oriented. The company takes care of its employees.
People really have fun, yet they have a great deal of intellectual capital.
McCusker is behind the remarkable corporate culture at Viking. This philosophy naturally affects the families of employees - when someone works for Viking, not only are they members of the Viking family, but their families become Viking family members as well. Viking's employee programs are designed to keep people happy. I aim to create a motivated work force by personally proving to my employees, friends and family that genuine concern for their well being is at the top of my priority list. I express this concern through a positive business culture, motivational seminars, bonus programs, paid benefits and unusual on-site perks.
