ALTOONA, Pa., 2016-Nov-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — We are proud to announce that Sheetz has once again been named one of the country’s Best Workplaces in Retail by consulting firm Great Place to Work® and Fortune. Sheetz came in ninth on the list this year, following its Top 10 ranking in this category last year.
“We have tried our best to create an environment where our employees look forward to coming to work each day and are proud to be a part of this company. Our employees are the best in the business and they bring our internal mantra of TCF (Total Customer Focus) to life 24/7 365.” said Joe Sheetz, president of Sheetz. “Our team members take excellent care of our customers, so it just makes sense for our organization to take care of our team members. Sheetz is proud to offer employees competitive wages, great benefits, flexible schedules, opportunities for advancement, bonuses, vacation time and more.”
Sheetz earned a place on this list based on an anonymous survey measuring our team members’ perceptions of their work environment, leadership, cooperation, compensation and other factors essential to employee well-being. Sheetz’s results were among the best in the country when compared with a wide range of retailers that together employ more than 600,000 people.
“Surveys of the Best Workplaces show that a trusting, supportive culture can have a dramatic impact on employee commitment and team cohesion – and that’s ultimately good for customers,” said Kim Peters, Executive Vice President of Great Place to Work®.
