My main advice would be, 'go for it.' They are incredibly responsive, reliable and most importantly, I think just are going to be a really important resource for your employees. If you're looking to really optimize for the employee experience and offer really wonderful benefits programs, CorpStrat is absolutely the way to go.
What is the most challenging thing you face regarding employee benefits?
I would say the most challenging thing is sometimes just the amount of questions we get in a day and also how to get the answer quickly in a way that's efficient for our employees. CorpStrat has been so helpful because whenever I get a question about finding an insurance card or inactive benefits, they are able to quickly resolve the issue in a high-quality way.
How does CorpStrat support your hiring and candidate experience?
When we're hiring new employees, they have a lot of questions about our benefits and programs. We were struggling to figure out how to thoughtfully share what we offer. CorpStrat actually created a really fantastic employee benefits brochure that's specific to Pearl.
What has been the number one benefit of working with CorpStrat?
The number one benefit is just being able to really help negotiate and organize a really thoughtful benefits offering. We have a lot of families and folks who have children, and it's really important to us that we have a benefits program that tailors to everyone's needs.

The people we work with are absolutely fantastic. They're super responsive and always really quick to follow up. Our primary point of contact is Samantha, and she's someone who I feel really comfortable forwarding employee inquiries to; once I've forwarded it to her, I know she's going to be able to get back to our team.
