Sweetwater Honored Again with Two Comparably Best Workplace Awards

 
Sweetwater, the country's number one eCommerce provider of music instruments and pro audio gear, is proud to announce that it is the recipient of two Comparably Awards. The first award, "Best Company Compensation," is based on employee satisfaction with the total compensation package (fair pay, raises, annual bonuses, benefits, stock/equity). The second award is the "Best Company Perks & Benefits," which is based on employee satisfaction with perks & benefits (ratings of perks, satisfaction with benefits, paid time off, retention due to benefits).

"We are honored to be recognized by Comparably in these two categories," said Sweetwater Chief People & Culture Officer Jeff Ostermann. "At Sweetwater, we offer competitive pay and benefits and work hard to create a path for our employees to find meaning and joy in their work. Our company culture is essential to our success and we are intentional about fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and grow. "

Comparably Awards is an annual series launched in late 2017 highlighting the best CEOs and places to work by those who know best – employees. This award is based solely on sentiment feedback provided by current employees who anonymously rate their employers on Comparably.com. Workers answer structured questions spanning 16 different workplace topics, from compensation, perks, and benefits to work-life balance, career growth, and leadership. Each answer is then given a numerical score and compared to companies of similar size. The final data set of winners is compiled from over 15 million ratings across 70,000 companies within a 12-month period.
