After surveying employees L.L. Bean has been ranked 56th out of 100. They also ranked top 10 for best retail company and received top marks for best outdoor retail company. With low turn over rates and lots of perks it is obvious why they earned such high rankings. With perks from store discounts to outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking trips it is no wonder they have such a low turnover of employees. This is the 3rd time the company has made it on to the Fortune list.

Some of the things employees were surveyed for were job atmosphere, management, pride and communication. L.L. Bean is known for focusing on employee health and wellness as well as rewarding excellence. Employees are rewarded every 5 years with a paid day off and a gift card, and that's just one of the many incentives employees have to stay.
