“Being family-owned means that we can do this differently, allowing us to make our associates a part of our family. So, we are thrilled to be recognized for the fourth time in a row by Forbes magazine as one of America’s Best Employers.”<\/p>Jane Blain Gilbertson<\/strong>, owner, president, CEO of Blain’s Farm & Fleet<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blain\u2019s Farm & Fleet is honored to announce that they have landed on Forbes Magazine\u2019s list of America\u2019s Best Mid-sized Employers for the fourth year in a row! We were first recognized in 2018<\/a> and again in 2019<\/a>. Forbes didn\u2019t publish a list during 2020 due to the pandemic, but Blain’s Farm & Fleet was recognized with the survey\u2019s return in 2021<\/a> and again this year in 2022! In addition to being recognized as one of the Top 500 Midsize Employers in America, Blain\u2019s Farm & Fleet ranked 10th among all \u201cRetail and Wholesale\u201d companies in the United States. This modern general store also found itself in the Top 20 on Newsweek’s “Best Online Shops” for the second year in a row!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes partnered with the market research company Statista to identify which companies are best at making their employees feel happy, inspired, and well-compensated. The list is released annually and represents the top 500 mid-sized companies (between 1,000 and 5,000 employees). Forbes surveyed more than 60,000 employees in America across 25 different industries. The questions were about working conditions, salary, the potential for growth\/advancement, and the company\u2019s image. The surveys were distributed through online access panels to ensure the respondents could give their opinions without company influence, and the survey was anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For over 65 years, Blain\u2019s Farm & Fleet has taken pride in treating their associates like family and their customers like neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
