Canterbury staffers gather during the firm's annual Canterbury Day, an off-site, fun-filled day for all employees to enjoy team-building activities and social time together. The event was held at Disneyland in 2022; in 2023 it was held in Newport Beach, Calif., with Duffy boats in Newport Harbor.
Employees who have been at Canterbury for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 years are honored each December with a travel voucher worth $100 for every year they've worked.
Employees have the option of a preferred provider organization plan with or without a health savings account, and the total annual out-of-pocket cost is $1,000 for an individual or $2,000 for a family. There are no co-pays for visits to doctors, specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors or acupuncturists, and there's no deductible. In-network dental visits are also 100% covered.
Partners with Southern California schools with multiracial and diverse socioeconomic student populations. Employees recently assisted students with their networking skills through a LIFEvest financial literacy program, and the company regularly gives staff opportunities to volunteer individually and as a team.
Employees say:
"Every company I've worked for says they value their employees and company culture, but Canterbury is the only company I've seen really show it. From their benefits plan to financial support and time off for ongoing learning to our regular get-togethers for snacks or happy hour(s), employees feel valued and appreciated."
"Overall, Canterbury Consulting does a phenomenal job in creating a place that people want to spend time at. This also includes out-of-office activities like 'Canterbury Day,' happy hours, lunch-ins, and more. I would highly recommend anyone work here. I feel lucky to be at a firm that has such a good work environment."
"Canterbury Consulting goes above and beyond to take care of their employees. Some of my favorite things are the time-off policies, the VERY low cost of health coverage, employee engagement activities, volunteering opportunities and the ability to work a hybrid schedule with some days being work from home."
