“I am so glad that Wegmans has really embraced diversity! Working with all different kinds of people makes my heart so happy. Inclusion is so important to me in my every day life and I am ecstatic that I can have that at my place of employment as well. We want everyone to feel comfortable here and welcome, no matter your race, sexual orientation, gender, etc., and I think that's pretty amazing! Wegmans feels like a safe space for all of us. I also appreciate the resources Wegmans provides in regards to our LiveWell program where we offer assistance with therapy, financial counseling, and so much more. It's great to know we have so much help if, and when, it's needed. Our in-store employee advocates are wonderful too!”

“Having been a Target Team Member for a long time, there is no place else I would rather work at. This is my second family and we have been through everything together. The people are what keep me here! Just the different walks of life, personalities and cultures are what make it special.”

Employees say: 
 
“It's a family here. I love my team and we work so well together, and we have fun. It's like they're family. Sheetz has excellent benefits and unique benefits, too. Fully paid maternity leave, paternity leave, tuition reimbursement and discounts, ESOP, discounts at the store (10% off food and 10 cents of fuel - Big deal these days!), and more! The family that founded the company is always around and available to talk to. They're great people, and they truly want to improve and grow every day to make their employees and customers happy. It really is the best place to work, and I plan to retire from Sheetz!”

“What makes this company a great place to work are the employees. Everyone who works here super nice and including. Another thing that makes this place a great place to work is what the company stands for and the monthly donations they make to different organizations, it makes me feel awesome to be apart of such a generous company.”

Altar'd State

Employees say: 
 
“Our retirement plans are unmatched as far as I am aware in our world of retail. There is a job in the store for everyone and management will help you find the best place for you and encourage career growth one on one. You don't feel as if you are just another small part of a huge machine because what you do every day is important to your store, and your community.”

Publix Super Markets

Employees say: 
 
“Our Associates are great, and treat each other as a family would. You feel welcome and appreciated here no matter how long you've been here. Our guests are another big reason why our company is great. The amount of appreciation they have for our guest service, and quality products keeps them wanting to return to our stores.”

Nugget Market

Employees say: 
 
“I feel that everyone here is welcoming and accepting of everyone. We are encouraged to develop relationships within our department as well as others. We are empowered to make decisions we feel are necessary in the moment whether it is business or customer related. I can be myself at work and that is a great feeling. I feel people have the best interests of everyone on a personal as well as professional level.”

CarMax

Employees say: 
 
“Definitely! CustomInk is a very unique place to work because all the way up to the owner, they have confidence in all the employees. I have never worked anywhere before where the employees genuinely care for one another as individuals. They take pride in us and we are proud to work there. CustomInk is a one of a kind place to work and I plan on working here until I retire.”

Custom Ink

Employees say: 
 
“This is truly a diverse caring company. The organization is super flexible with work life and personal life and will help out in any they can to help you get the job done if you need support. Everyone that I've had the pleasure to work with are always smiling, they are kind, willing to help resolve questions or concerns. I feel very comfortable going to other internal departments to seek help when it's needed or just to get to know them and learn what they do it helps build strong relationships with my peers. It feels good when I walk down the hallway and I greet my peers and they greet back with a smile. I've learned so much working at Burlington and I love what I do. I look forward to many more years with them!”

Burlington Stores

Employees say: 
 
“The culture within the DriveTime community makes it a great place to work. There are plenty of opportunities to get to know one another in social settings. Additionally, the way in which co-workers band together to complete volunteer opportunities is fantastic. Just that our company promotes that is amazing.”

DriveTime

Employees say: 
 
“This is the most unique company I have ever worked for. I have never had the chance to work for a company that I can honestly say cares about their employees. They go above and beyond to make their employees feel welcome. I couldn't ask for more. I hope to be here for a long time :)”

1-800 CONTACTS

Employees say: 
 
“Signet has given me many opportunities to grow in my career even though I have been here a little less than a year. The management wants to see you succeed and grow which is so special and not found at many corporate level jobs. You can tell everyone actually cares about how you are doing. It's not just a job, it's more than that. We're family.”

Signet Jewelers

Employees say: 
 
“The culture at Trek is what makes it a great place to work. When you are hired on at Trek, you become a part of the Trek family. The family is a tight knit group of people, friendliness and kindness are encouraged, people are pushed to their highest potential, and Trek does a lot to make sure the family has fun things to do to build morale. ”

Trek Bicycle

Employees say: 
 
“What is unique is the relationship building that's present cross-functionally. It's truly amazing that people were so open and welcoming right off the bat and there are so many opportunities to give back to the community and meet associates in other areas of the business that normally, I would have no contact with whatsoever. An example would be ARG's: truly the best experience I've had with any kind of resource group, even compared to when I was apart of some in college. They create non-judgmental spaces that connect associates.”

Abercrombie & Fitch

Employees say: 
 
“What I appreciate about this place is the sense of a community feeling when you need it in addition to this just being a place where I work. We have chat groups about parenting and all things related or unrelated that we can get ideas/advice no matter where we live across the country and meet new co-workers. In addition we have resource groups of those interested helping each other throughout their career at work no matter who they are which also gives more opportunity to meet someone outside of their normal business interaction.”
