HOUSTON, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Smith, a leading global distributor of electronic components and semiconductors, today announces that it was named to Comparably's lists for Best Compensation, Best Perks & Benefits, and Happiest Employees. These recognitions are based exclusively on anonymous employee feedback on the Comparably website. The company's employees rated Smith's overall culture as an A+, placing it in the top five percent of similarly sized companies. This is the first time Smith has been named to the list for Happiest Employees and the second time it has been named to the lists for Best Compensation and Best Perks & Benefits.
"Our employees' satisfaction is a huge driving force behind their growth and success," said Patti Everitt, Director of Human Resources at Smith. "These acknowledgements from Comparably reflect the ongoing effort of our leadership to promote employee wellbeing and retention, and we are proud to have earned such excellent feedback from our workforce."
Smith offers exceptional benefits and compensation packages to its global employees, including top-tier medical coverage, generous retirement contributions, and flexible paid time off. Employees at the company's world headquarters in Houston enjoy daily access to an onsite fitness center, complete with full locker rooms, and regional employees can participate in the company's wellness reimbursement program, which helps offset the cost of gym memberships, fitness classes, and more. Additionally, Smith's salespeople earn uncapped commission on top of their competitive base pay.
The company also provides a wide variety of development, teambuilding, and social opportunities—such as milestone anniversary events, contests, and corporate social responsibility activities—to increase cohesion and collaboration among employees during the workday.
