Get a Job with Mercedes

For two years in a row, Fortune magazine has ranked Mercedes as one of
the “100 Best Companies to Work For”. This year, the luxury car
manufacturer jumped from number 49 to number 15. For fourteen years in a
row, Fortune magazine has been rating companies based on an annual
survey of employees across corporate America. The Great Place to Work
Institute is a partner with Fortune on this massive project that
includes over three hundred companies. Random employees from the company
are sent a survey that asks them questions about their job
satisfaction, management credibility, and co-worker camaraderie. This
survey makes up two-thirds of the final result, while the remaining
score comes from internal audit data such as hiring practices, pay and
benefits programs, as well as internal communication systems.

Mercedes is the only car manufacturer on Fortune’s list and is ranked
8th among small companies that have less than 2,500 employees. This is a
remarkable achievement for the luxury automaker and helps ensure they
stay a step ahead of the competition. This organization has continually
been a frontrunner in terms of advancing technology for performance and
aesthetics. They are obviously also placing a lot of importance on
employee satisfaction in an attempt to minimize turnover and establish a
positive and creative working environment that fosters new ideas and
innovation. By making it a great place to work, Mercedes is ensuring the
longevity of its product and, in turn, ensuring the happiness of its
customers. Buying a luxury automobile that will be serviced by people
who love their job is a good thing.

Ernst Lieb, President and CEO, claims that this achievement makes a
particularly strong impact because it is based on employee survey
results. This is especially rewarding for administration and management
in an economy where many car manufacturers are laying employees off
instead of fostering a positive work environment. The car company’s
slogan states that they want “the best or nothing” and that seems to
apply to their employees as well. This positive environment helps to
ensure the best employee is making the best product for the best
customer.

Mercedes headquarters are located in Montvale, New Jersey. Their
headquarters are responsible for all marketing, distribution, and
customer service for all lines of vehicles within the country. The
luxury car manufacturer is pleased to offer the most diverse line of
automobiles with 12 models rangy from sporty to sedan to supercar.
