We are very pleased to announce that Marco was named by Great Place to Work® as one of the top small and medium workplaces in the United States for the second consecutive year. While this is great news for our organization, we also believe this honor offers significant benefits for the organizations we work with.

Great Place to Work® has found that employees feel good about their organization when they trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with. We believe this internal environment radiates externally as well, as our employees connect and collaborate with customers and prospects across the nation. Our people work hard to establish and maintain trust with the organizations we work with, produce work you can be proud of and initiate enjoyable interactions every time we meet.

• Better financial performance
• Less employee turnover
• Higher levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty
• More innovative and creative thinking
• Higher productivity and enhanced public perception

In addition to offering these perks and programs, being named a great place to work has a lot to do with having great people.

These qualifications, among others, ensure we bring in people that believe what we believe and are ready to work hard and have fun.

We are honored to be ranked #14 on the Great Place to Work® annual 2015 Best Small and Medium Workplaces list. Learn more about Marco’s ranking, Great Place to Work selection process and other organizations that made the list.
