This Retail Store in WA Named Best-in-State Employer

I've worked for several companies and, I'm happy to say, I've been very fortunate that I've loved every job I've ever been at. Sure, some more than others, and the people always make it worth it, but every job I've had I've always enjoyed enough to stay.

I know how odd that is as not everybody can say that.

Statista took every state and, though their methodology, gave us the best employer for each state.

And Washington State has no lack of employers.

But who do you think it could be?

Maybe one of the giants like Microsoft or Nintendo?

Perhaps is a local hub like Alaska Airlines?

Well, as it turns out, it's a retail business with many locations throughout Washington State.

What is Washington State's Best-in-State Employer?

According to Statista, it's Trader Joe's.

Yep, the same Trader Joe's that refuses to put up a location in Yakima.

And, though Trader Joe's isn't available in Yakima or even Tri-Cities, you can find Trader Joe's in 18 cities across Washington State.

Some of those towns with more than one.

Why do people love working for Trader Joe's?

Have you noticed that everyone at Trader Joe's is happy to be there? Well, according to Finance Buzz, there are plenty of benefits to working at Trader Joe's including part-time employees also get PTO (paid time off), health and retirement benefits and they even get 20% off everything in the store -- including alcohol.

Now if only we had a Trader Joe's in Yakima so we could see for ourselves.
