The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America
Author: Robert Levering, Milton Moskowitz, Michael Katz

An Insider's Guide to America's Favorite Employers — The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America is a book for anyone in business. For job hunters it's an invaluable guide to what it's like to work at America's best employers. For managers and businesspeople, the book reveals fascinating and useful ... more »information about the management style, philosophy, and prospects for the future at 100 of the nation's most innovative firms.

The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America cuts across all the other criteria by which American companies have recently been judged -- excellence, culture, productivity, and management style -- to look at the real bottom line: would you like to work there? The authors compiled this unique and fascinating list after years of extensive research and interviews with individuals in every corner of corporate America -- from mail clerks to middle managers, from secretaries to CEOs. Along the way, they discovered that America's favorite employers included not only industry giants like IBM, General Electric, and Delta Air Lines, but lesser-known firms as well, like Quad/Graphics in Pewaukee, Wisconsin (where the work week is three days long), Trammell Crow Real Estate Development in Dallas (where more than 5 percent of the work force are millionaires), and Advanced Micro Devices in Sunnyvale, California (a company that offered its employees a lottery with a new house as first prize).

The industries in The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America range from Silicon Valley High-tech houses to an architecture and design firm to advertising agencies, banks, retailers, insurance companies, and steel, oil, and car manufacturers. There's even a baseball team and a lingerie manufacturer. Using a five-point system, the authors rate each company on pay, benefits, job security, opportunities for advancement, and ambience. Witty and informative profiles about each company are interspersed with quotes form employees, anecdotes about the corporate leaders and founders, and descriptions of outstanding characteristics or perks the firms offer (from which companies have fitness centers to who has the best cafeteria food). Plus, companies are cross-referenced by location and industry, and additional lists supply comparisons on a variety of issues, including the best places for women to work, where a college degree is (or isn't) important, and who has the best programs for retirees.

What are America's best places to work? And what makes them so good? The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America is the first book to examine American businesses to see what makes employees love their jobs. The result is a guided tour through the country's most valued firms.

Robert Levering, Milton Moskowitz, and Michael Katz are a team of business journalists and researchers. They are the authors of Everybody's Business: An Almanac.
