Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: At Signet (asi/326636), it’s all about team spirit and trust – and it has been ever since the Memphis-based company started in 1976. “Management trusts staff to make autonomous decisions to satisfy customers and uphold our mission,” says Elizabeth Tate, Signet’s CEO, which is “to make our customers look great and feel great about each experience with us.”

That leads to inspired teamwork because every employee feels like the company believes in them. Employees are encouraged to collaborate during the day on their clients’ promotional campaigns (covering every step from ideation to delivery), and also to celebrate their connections with each other. “We treat each other the way we treat our customers,” Tate says.

Top Benefits & Perks: Aside from a full suite of benefits that includes medical, dental, vision, life, and long-term disability, Signet has an equally full suite of perks. Employees get one work-from-home day a week, and the other days are packed with fun activities. Who could resist a weekly cheese day, turkey bowling, costume contests and food trucks? Oh, and did we forget to mention the days with baby goats? There are also monthly birthday celebrations, special holiday lunches, group outreach projects, and more.

Once you combine entertaining days with the flexibility to be at home when necessary, you get a fun and friendly environment that people enjoy coming to each day. “We work hard and we play hard,” says Tate.
