Best Small and Medium Workplaces in Texas

Fortune research partner Great Place to Work has compiled the 2022 list of the 50 Best Small and Medium Workplaces in Texas. A key trait that shines through for company after company on this year's list is impartiality: Employees of Texas-based organizations were especially likely to report that leaders don't play favorites, and they grant recognition and promotions to those who deserve them. Employees of various demographic backgrounds, and working at companies of varying sizes, highlighted this aspect. (For large companies, also see: The 25 Best Large Workplaces in Texas.)

Bestow

NEW

Financial Services & Insurance

Employees say: “I love how open the culture is. Diverse backgrounds are prized here. I come from a non-typical background and therefore have different perspectives on the work that might not be seen as the 'go-to' approach. When I have presented my ideas, they are always welcomed and encouraged. I have a lot of flexibility in the way I do my work, both because I am allowed to work from home, but also because I am given the opportunity to approach problems that interest me and allow me to add value in a way that might not have been considered. Bestow being a mostly remote company does an excellent job of helping its employees feel connected through department happy hours, virtual company events, and an active slack community.” Read the Great Place to Work review .

Employees say: “I have literally NEVER worked for a company with such integrity, professionalism, and that TRULY cares for their employees.

Like, they ACTUALLY care about their constituents AND employees. I absolutely LOVE IT HERE!” Read the Great Place to Work review .

I cannot wait to impact the lives of many as the years go forward.” Read the Great Place to Work review .

Highland Homes

NEW

Construction

Employees say: “Of course, our ESOP makes Highland a unique and special place to work. Not many employees working in the homebuilding industry have the opportunity to profit share to the level that Highland Homes employee owners do. While this is an incredible benefit, however, it is a mere byproduct of our amazing culture that was here long before the ESOP existed. As I think about the other builders I've worked for or competed against over the years, I can't think of a single one whose culture is more appealing to me. I'm blessed to get to come to work at a company who so cares about their customers, employees, and the communities they build in and who consistently puts their money where their mouth is.” Read the Great Place to Work review .

AIM

NEW

Education & Training

Employees say: “There is a deep level of respect for all employees communicated at AIM, and it begins at the top. It truly feels like a team. Although we work all across the state, AIM does a great job of cultivating community by providing ongoing opportunities for individuals to come together for trainings, coffee, activities, and other events. AIM listens to each employees wants and needs and tries their best to find a good fit for everyone. Ideas are encouraged and taking professional risks in order to grow is welcomed.” Read the Great Place to Work review .

When I ask for help from my superior ,I always feel that I'm not looked down upon for asking, but rather it's treated as a learning opportunity, and I appreciate it greatly.” Read the Great Place to Work review .
