re: What do you value more in employees?

Marathon. I want people who want to retire from here.

Then the first one.

The second just needs more incentives. Small companies are difficult to work for sometimes. I work for a small family business, there is not really room for growth.

I'm very loyal however, because they treat me like family and they give great bonuses, trips, benefits, etc. even though it doesn't mean I get a higher position in the company.

So treat employee two that way and then they MAYVE become a loyal employee and you get a win/win of a loyal employee who is great at their job.
