PMOLink’s founders decided from the company’s
onset that if they were successful, they
wouldn’t be the corporate executive fat cats driving
in fancy cars.
“We wanted to share the wealth. Our top executives
were not going to solely profit off the hard
work of our employees,” said Mark Johnson, chief
financial officer and co-founder of PMOLink,
along with President and CEO Geoff Hingle.
“Every employee has a vested interest in this
company and gets their deserved share of the
pool,” Johnson said. “All of our profits go back to
the salaries and benefits for our employees.”
The average salary is often the wow factor at
the project and process management professional
services company, which began operations in
2001.
The company’s average starting salary is
$84,000, while the median is $108,761. PMOLink
reported $11 million in revenue in 2008.
“It means we’re doing well as a company, and
most of our employees are certified in the project
management solutions they provide to our
clients,” Johnson said. “We’re in the business of
attracting a high-quality work force, so our salary
and benefits packages have to be competitive.”
PMOLink, which also has an office in San
Antonio and a subsidiary in PMOLink
Government Solutions Inc., serves clients in the
United States and Canada, including six Fortune
500 companies.
Because of constant upgrades and complex
project management software programs in the
industry, Johnson said PMOLink gives employees
$1,500 annually for training, professional certifications
and online classes, plus additional assistance
upon request. There is a $1,500 bonus for
