The Top Ten

PeopleTec

+1 spotPrev. #2

Employees say: "Of all the places I have worked, this is probably the best and most non-toxic work environment I have experienced in 30-plus years in the workforce. People get along, and there is little-to-no workplace drama. People are non-judgmental and accepting of individuals from different backgrounds and are quick to help others with less knowledge and experience. There is better communication between management and employees and expectations are well set. Training is abundant and the pay is highly competitive. I see no reason why I won't be here for several years to come."

Aimpoint Digital

+12 spotsPrev. #14

Employees say: "There is really a spirit of collaboration, growth, and entrepreneurship. People are encouraged to build offerings, products, and their skills. The company tries to do what is right for our customers, employees, and communities. This is seen in our guarantee for our work, the benefits we provide our people, and the support we have to perform volunteer work within our communities/sustainability efforts."

AnswerFirst Communications

+15 spotsPrev. #18

Employees say: "Answerfirst is big on investing into the employees. There is so much room to grow within the organization. Most of the current supervisor and managers started as regular employees. They also participate in profit-sharing. This company is big on maintaining the mental health of its employees and incorporates several programs to assist them, as well as the standard EAP benefits. I am blessed to be a part of this organization."

Roth Staffing

Prev. #4

Employees say: "They continually request feedback from employees. They have implemented an innovations portal that allows employees to provide insights and recommendations on how we can improve our business or culture. They work hard to keep us in the know and have a created a strong culture of open communication and collaboration, which they have been able to carry on in a remote environment."

5

NEW

Employees say: "I have complete trust in my team. I've never worked at a place where I felt comfortable taking time to be with my family and know that everything will be taken care of at work. Working for 5 makes me a better mom, wife, and neighbor because of their commitment to 'helping people,' not just helping customers."

AVIAN

NEW

Employees say: "It is difficult to be a truly customer- and employee-focused organization in the defense industry. AVIAN manages to do this exceptionally well. For example, when I was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition and I had to be out for an extended period for corrective surgery, AVIAN stayed engaged and worked with me, my family, and my customer to assure everyone had any support needed."

Analytic Acquisitions

NEW

Employees say: "Analytic has a great company culture and is a quality work environment. It is the best place I've ever worked, simply because of the great people and the amount of opportunities to learn and grow within my field."

Albert & Mackenzie

+2 spotsPrev. #10

Employees say: "A&M consistently shows its appreciation for their employees. Frequent social events are set up throughout the year that are fun and completely paid by A&M. There is a lottery open to all employees to win free seats at a baseball or basketball game. A social budget is given to each department, which allows each department to get together outside of work in a fun way. Last year, a reimbursement was given for any upgrades to your home office—the amount provided for reimbursement was very generous."

FBT Gibbons

+18 spotsPrev. #27

Employees say: "Gibbons is a place that just seems to get everything right. I genuinely look forward to arriving at the office each day, not only because the work itself is interesting, challenging, and rewarding but, more importantly, because the family atmosphere and my colleagues make performing that work a joy. I am valued and treated with respect. I receive everything I need to provide my clients with the top-notch level of service they deserve."

Actualize Consulting

+2 spotsPrev. #12

Employees say: "We do small, but frequent, teambuilding exercises, where the folks can get to know each other better. And once a year we have a corporate retreat that provides everyone with an opportunity to spend quality time with each other. This fosters a collaborative and caring environment, which is just wonderful. We also monthly all-hands calls that keep us in the loop on new strategic ideas while also diving into tactical discussions as well. Everyone is given an opportunity to provide input on the ideas being discussed. Since we have a very open environment, I definitely see the hard questions being asked and management taking the time to discuss these questions in detail. This leads to better solutions for the firm."
