What makes it a Best Place to Work:

■ This is the first place I’ve worked where I feel like everyone is on the same team. Everyone is supportive and the family atmosphere makes me want to do my best each day.

 

■ PPI has been such a great place to work with even greater people! Some of my favorite things about this company are its diversity, how friendly and approachable everyone is and its ability to be open minded and proactive in listening to new ideas.

 

■ I could not be luckier to work for a company like PPI that cares so much for the health and well-being of their employees. The amount of flexibility allows for employees to really manage their work/life balance the way that works for them.

 

Note: There is no Bronze company in this category.
