One of the best places to work in Florida: MyFoxTAMPABAY.com
MULBERRY - If you hate to get up and go to work in the morning, you're probably not working at Clark Environmental in Mulberry. It is one of two Polk County businesses named by "Florida Trend Magazine" as one of the state's top 100 Best Places to Work.
The list comes out in the August issue.
"I have been in companies before, when you walk in, it's just a job," Vice President Jim Clark told FOX 13 on Friday. "We try to make everyone feel like it's not a job. It's family. It's fun."
Employees get a gift and cake on their birthday. On their anniversary, they get money for every year they have been at the company.
There is a Christmas party, monthly parties, bonuses, and rewards when an employee comes up with a good idea.
"I told them when I started, you'll have to throw me over the fence and I am gonna crawl back over if they try to get rid of me," said Ramona Cohen, who was hired a year ago for accounting work. "It is the most fabulous place to work."
But it's not just a good time. Clark has increased its business by ten fold in the last four years.
President Beth Clark says the most important part of the company's culture is that it values its employees and their opinions.
"We absolutely don't know everything," she said. "We rely on employees to give input, she said.
Clark is not the only Polk business to make the Best Places to Work list. So did ACT Environmental Services and Infrastructure, for the second year running.
