Kudos to Wegmans

In Fortune magazine's Top 100 Best Companies to Work For 2006, 12 retailers made the coveted listing. Come on, we can do better!

The Diva congratulates the efforts of New York-based Wegmans Foods Markets, a family-owned, 69-store supermarket chain with stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland. Not only did Wegmans rank second as the best company to work for, but this is its ninth consecutive year to make the list.

My guess is that how a company treats its employees is how it treats its customers. Other retailers who made the grade: 

Container Store (#6)
Recreational Equipment (REI) (#9)
Whole Foods Market (#15)
QuikTrip (#21)
Starbucks (#29)
Nordstrom (#46)
Hot Topic (#53)
Publix Super Markets (#56)
Men's Wearhouse (#92)
CarMax (#93)
IKEA (U.S.) (#96)

Anyone else deserve an honorable mention? Do tell.
