The trendy-looking bar table in front of a gigantic refrigerator is filled with beer, wine, energy drinks and other beverages. A few short steps deeper into the 15,000-foot-space reveals colorful art, funky chairs, a slew of gumball machines filled with a mix of candies, a pool table, a couple of guitars and a ukulele.

Planit isn't a swanky lounge. It's an advertising and marketing agency. And while the workplace — especially in these tough economic times — might not conjure images of lively happy hours, flip cup and pool tournaments, Planit, and a number of area businesses, continue to provide free perks and discounted benefits to workers. The employees love the treats. And management says that the extras help foster a productive environment that thwarts turnover.

The ironic thing is this company used to be one of our best clients when I was in the direct mail biz. Then it was just the two owners and a handful of employees trying to make it big in the small pond known as Baltimore advertising agencies. They are one of the few survivors ... perhaps the alcohol is a big reason!

My assistant was just saying the other day that she really lucked out having a boss with a sushi fixation. Pretty sure she'd take that over beer.

being self-employed has its advantages - i can eat, drink, work what and whenever i want

If it helps creativity then it's a good thing.

You aren't exactly going to chop your arm off with a bit of machinery or hurt anybody else when your only responsibility is to come up with ideas of ways to sell things.
