of employees at Men's Wearhouse who provide our customers with
outstanding customer service and reinforce our mission of

Gilman says, "The most important considerations for this year's

employees weather the recession. All 100 companies on our list are
currently hiring, many of them aggressively, leading to more than
96,000 open job positions expected in the next year." To pick the
100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work
Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in
corporate America. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the
results of surveys sent to a random sample of employees. The survey
asks questions related to their attitudes about the management's
credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of
the scoring is based on the company's responses to the Institute's
Culture Audit which includes questions about pay and benefit
programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring,
communication, and diversity. Founded in 1973, Men's Wearhouse is
one of North America's largest specialty retailers of men's apparel
with 1,271 stores. The Men's Wearhouse, Moores and K&G stores
