2022 BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR.

• Author: Berriman, Nicole

Each year, Utah Business anonymously surveys thousands of employees about their workplaces to determine who thinks they have it best. Perceptions around workplace culture continue to shift since the COVID pandemic, and employees are more discerning than ever before. This year's winners are meeting these demands and setting new standards in their industries. It's time to dust off your resumes--these are the companies you want to work for.

OZ MARKETING IS A FUN AND CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT. IT'S FUN TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO A BUILDING AND HAVE ENCOURAGEMENT TO SPARK CREATIVITY. I APPRECIATE THE NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TO ME IN THE SHORT TIME I'VE BEEN HERE.

I STRONGLY APPRECIATE LEDGERGURUS SUPPORTING MY ABILITY TO BALANCE PERSONAL AND WORK OBLIGATIONS, THE TRANSPARENCY THAT THE COMPANY OFFERS IN TERMS OF ITS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE EACH QUARTER, THE PROFIT-SHARING THAT THE COMPANY HAS IN PLACE, AND THE COMPANY'S COMMUNICATION REGARDING MEETING OF TARGETS. I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE COMPETITIVE SALARIES OFFERED AND THE 100% VIRTUAL NATURE OF MY JOB.

THE GREATEST BENEFIT IS THE WAY THE COMPANY INVESTS IN ME. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE LOOKING OUT FOR HOW THEY CAN HELP ME TO GROW AND BE SUCCESSFUL. THE OTHER BENEFITS ARE GREAT, BUT I'VE NEVER WORKED SOMEWHERE THAT I GET MORE EXCITED ABOUT COMING INTO WORK.

-LOANPRO

WE CAN BUY STOCK TWICE A YEAR, WHICH HAS ALLOWED ME TO EXPAND MY INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO IN A GREAT COMPANY THAT I BELIEVE IN AND AM HELPING TO GROW. MY WORK IS REWARDED VERY DIRECTLY. PCF IS VERY GENEROUS TO ITS EMPLOYEES.

-PCF INSURANCE SERVICES

I LOVE HAVING THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHETHER I WANT TO WORK FROM HOME OR WORK FROM THE OFFICE EACH DAY. I ALSO APPRECIATE THE WELLNESS/FITNESS BENEFITS, WHICH PAY FOR MY GYM MEMBERSHIP. THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW SYSTEM IS ABOUT AS FAIR AND EQUITABLE AS YOU CAN FIND. LUCID PUTS A LOT MORE THOUGHT AND DIRECTION INTO THIS THAN MOST COMPANIES DO, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS EASIER TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR GOOD WORK.
