In today’s economy, it’s easy to say that any job is a good job. But that does not mean there are no great jobs out there. To identify some of New Jersey’s great places to work, New Jersey Monthly assembled a panel of recruitment professionals, academics, and consultants with vast knowledge of workplace conditions throughout the Garden State.
These advisors submitted their nominations based on a variety of criteria, including workplace environment, training programs, employee benefits, community involvement, diversity policies, and current workforce needs. We tallied the nominations and sent out questionnaires to the top contenders. After reviewing the replies, we chose twelve companies that we feel exemplify what it means to be a great place to work.
