The best place to work in retail is...
Who knows whether a company is a good place to work better than its employees? That's what makes Glassdoor's "Employees Choice Awards" top 50 list of the best places to work so interesting. This year, there's a smattering of retailers and foodservice operators on the list, making the case that retail can mean good jobs.
H-E-B - Ranked seventh on Glassdoor's list, the San Antonio-based grocery chain received 4.2 stars out of five based on 595 reviews. Eighty-five percent of those posting reviews would recommend working at the company to a friend and 96 percent approve of CEO Charles Butt.
