1. Miami Children’s Health System
Employees say:
“Every day working at a children’s hospital is unique. I know that the work I do supports the frontline caregivers. Knowing that I contribute to saving the lives of children is the most rewarding experience. Not only do we care for the families in need, but we also truly care for one another. When you walk through the doors, you feel like you’re part of this family. Like you belong here. On top of that, the organization truly strives to make this a great place to work by implementing programs that benefit employees—like our Healthy Lifestyles program and discounts for all kinds of activities.”
“Since the first day I started working here over 20 years ago, I’ve always loved it. I’m proud to work here despite all of its changes. It’s gotten bigger, but the focus remains the same. The families we serve are the reason we give it our all. Sometimes I’ve seen families in the cafeteria lunch line that do not have enough money for their lunch. The employee standing behind them will often pick up the tab. It warms my heart to see that.”

7. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
Employees say:
“The company really does celebrate people for who they uniquely are. I think a lot of companies talk about how they do that, but Kimpton actually does it. The management takes a genuine interest in what makes each of us different. We’re fun and informal. This is not a ‘stuffy’ place and everyone likes to smile, laugh, and have fun together. Our CEO is hysterical, which sets the mood in the office. He really cares about all of us and likes to make us laugh, even when he’s really busy. The people all care about each other. I care about my colleagues and want the best for them. I think we all want the best for each other.”

8. Camden Property Trust
Employees say:
“I believe our leaders truly care about us personally and professionally. Camden offers a $4,500 tuition reimbursement for its employees and a $4,500 scholarship for their children. Both can continue their education with this benefit. For our personal needs, we now have an Employee Emergency Relief Fund for unexpected hardships. It’s a stressful time when you find yourself in a financial crisis and this program is exactly what we need to relieve the burden.”
“Camden is where I want to retire from. I have only worked here for about three years, but I already know that I am not going anywhere else. This is my home. I have never worked for a company that shows in so many ways how they care about you as an individual person. I have grown so much in my short tenure here that I can’t imagine where I will be in the next 15-20 years. I came in at an entry-level position and was given not only the proper tools and training to develop and grow, but an opportunity advance. I can now imagine a future for myself that I never really saw before. I have no clue what the future holds but I truly believe that the sky is the limit.”

“One reason I love working for TDIndustries is everyone here is treated fairly. Here you’re not an ’employee,’ you are a ‘partner.’ I have to say this is the only company I’ve worked where I’ve been comfortable talking with the CEO. He’s very respectful and is open minded about everyone’s opinion. Working here is a dream come true and I plan on retiring from here.”
