As you may have seen on our Facebook wall, we’re asking our customers to share their stories with us regarding how having perks has changed their lives and what they love about PerkStreet. We shared some of the email responses aloud in our staff meeting today (our attempts to capture on video were thwarted but we will have video posts soon, I promise) and there were a few in particular that really hit me.
