Outstanding benefits

We have the most extensive employee benefits in Finland, bringing joy to various areas of life. You get a discount of 3–25% at S Group’s more than 1,900 locations.  

Ordinary jobs, unusually good employee benefits

As a PKO employee, you get discounts on almost everything you need in your everyday life: food, restaurant meals, coffee and refreshments, makeup, clothing and home products. There are also benefits for experiences and vacations. In addition, we offer extensive occupational health services, a personnel fund, Epass sports benefits and opportunities to develop and train alongside your work. When you work for us, life outside of work is a little easier and a lot more fun.

Finland's best employee benefits

Our employer is a successful and financially sound company. It values ​​its own staff and takes good care of its employees. The salary is always paid on time and in exactly the right amount. Sometimes there is also a little extra, because everyone is rewarded for their work. We have a fair atmosphere: humane superiors and fair and equal treatment. There is also flexibility and different life situations are taken into account. Our security is much broader than the statutory occupational health services. The security also extends to free time, because we all have a very comprehensive free time accident insurance that is valid everywhere.Our company offers the opportunity to develop your own skills and build a career. Various training courses are available to everyone. We can trust that if you want, you can even work for our employer for your entire life. Did these things sound obvious? For us PKO employees, they may be, but not for everyone else. When talking about employee benefits, it is worth remembering these most important things first.

It is worth taking advantage of the shopping benefits

We PKO employees have the opportunity to benefit in many ways from working in a cooperative store, the largest private employer in North Karelia. The shopping benefits from our own store are considerable – 5% off food and 15% off consumer goods.Many would be envious of the 25% discount on food and drinks available in our restaurants. Let's also keep in mind that we can book hotel rooms at staff prices all over Finland, although the best travel opportunities are of course here in beautiful North Karelia.As an alternative to a hotel, there is the opportunity to rent beach cottages in Koli at a low price. And remember to use tickets to games and various events.

Performance and performance bonus system

A performance and performance bonus system for all personnel means that you get more pay when you do your job well.

Rewards can also be funded

A modern way to reward staff is the personnel fund, which we introduced in November 2021. In this, PKO is a trendsetter in the entire retail sector. Everyone who has been employed with us for at least six months has the opportunity to invest in the personnel fund, i.e. fund the profit and performance bonuses they receive there. Our employer automatically increases the funded amount by 20 percent. For example, if an employee transfers a total of 1,000 euros in profit and performance bonuses paid by PKO to the fund, the cooperative pays an additional 20%, i.e. the amount to be funded increases to 1,200 euros. Pretty fair!

Sports services with Epass

After you have been working for 4 months, you will be able to use Epass. Those who work more than 10 hours a week can receive a benefit of 400 euros per year and those who work less than 10 hours a week can receive a benefit of 200 euros per year.
