Employees fill time outside of work with a variety of activities. Enjoy snow sports? Head east to the Sierras! Or, if watersports are more your speed, head west to the Pacific and learn to surf! Need a good book or excellent meal for a quiet evening? There are over half a dozen bookstores within four blocks of our offices and many restaurants to tempt your palate.
