I don't know if you or any others here are musicians, but if so you probably are familiar with Sweetwater, a large pro-gear music company in Fort Wayne, IN.  They have a retail outlet in their warehouse complex, but they are primarily mail order and have a huge sales force.  The inside of the place is very nice, kind of like a small-scale Google or Apple or M$.  They have a great cafeteria for the workers, and all sorts of game machines and stuff in their play area for their employees.  Looks like it would be a nice place to work if you lived in the Fort Wayne area.
