This is the company’s fourth time being named to this prestigious list. Earning a spot means that Jazwares is one of the best companies to work for in the country.
The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production award is based on analysis of survey responses from over 106,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the manufacturing and production industry.
“We’re honored to be recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of the Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production for the fourth year in a row,” said David Neustein, CEO of Jazwares. “At Jazwares, our people are our greatest strength. Their passion, collaboration, humility, and commitment to our culture are what make this company special.
