That's great that your company will cover the financial cost for you.  I took the CPS exam in November.  



My boss knows what it is (because she asked about the giant Management book sitting on my desk for lunchtime reading), but the company doesn't have any idea.  They also are a large nationwide company.  



I didn't receive any extra $$, but I did it solely for the self-satisfaction of seeing if I could do it.  I learned quite a bit and that in itself is a big benefit.



Between working full-time, taking care of my home and family and battling a chronic illness, I was a little short on time myself, so I understand.  I found studying time by getting up 1/2 hour earlier 3 days a week (at 4 instead of 4:30), passed on TV most nights and took a 1/2 hour there and took lunchtime once in a while as well.  I studied for about 6 months, but not every single day - I had to give myself a little time off from it.  It was a LOT of reading, but it was very worth it to me.  



Best of luck to you!!
