Career website Comparably just published its list of the best companies to work for in 2017. And one of the things that helps an organization make the list, says CEO Jason Nazar, is building a great company culture from “day one.” He told Cheddar that it’s something he’s prioritized at his own firm. “We actually didn’t start with our go-to-market strategy, or how we were going to raise millions of dollars in venture capital, which we eventually did,” Nazar said. “We started with what were our business’s values and what kind of environment we wanted to create.” One of the companies that stands out in terms of culture is cloud software giant Salesforce.com. “They had a great company culture across multiple dimensions. They were rated as a top workplace for women, a top workplace for diversity, a top workplace for managers.” Other names that made Comparably’s list of best companies: Google, HubSpot, Facebook, and Cornerstone OnDemand.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.
