40 New Jersey Employers Among Best In America For 2017: Forbes
Forbes has identified America's 500
best employers, and 40 of the publications best are right here in New Jersey.
Topping New Jersey's list is two well-known companies that employ thousands of
people in the state (see lists below).
New Jersey's top large company is
Coldwell Banker Business Services & Supplies, at number 23 nationally. The
company, based in Madison, employs 45,900. The state's top mid-sized company is
Celgene, at number 4 nationally, a drug and biotech company in Summit that
employs 6,971.
The best in America is Costco, the
wholesale retailer, according to Forbes. As Forbes notes, the company has not
fallen below third place over the past three years, and a big perk offered by
the company is health insurance for part-time employees.
Costco, Google, and REI rank at the top
on Forbes' list of 500 best large
employers.
To compile the rankings, Forbes split
employees into two groups, mid-sized — companies with 1,000 to 5,000 employees
— and large employers — companies with 5,000 or more employees.
Topping the list of America's best mid-sized
employers was Lush, the indulgent retail cosmetics brand.
Though the company is headquartered in the United Kingdom, it operates 200
locations in the United States.
"According to respondents, Lush employees
were most taken with the company’s image, its diversity, and to a lesser extent
its working conditions," says Forbes.
To compile the rankings, Forbes worked
with research firm Statista. The firm surveyed 30,000 American workers to
collect opinions on the companies they work for. The most important factor in
determining the rankings was how likely employers were to recommend their
company to friends and family. Employees were also asked to recommend other
companies, which also factored into the rankings, but to a lesser degree.
