LAS VEGAS, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant
Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) has been honored with a Glassdoor
Employees' Choice Award, recognizing the company as one of the
nation's top 100 Best Places to Work in 2020.
The award, in its 12th year, is based solely on the
input of employees who elect to provide feedback on their jobs,
work environments and companies on Glassdoor, one of the world's
largest job and recruiting sites. Allegiant achieved an overall
rating of 4.3 out of 5 for employees' feedback about career
opportunities within the company as well as compensation and
benefits, culture and values, senior management and work-life
balance.
Allegiant is number 73 out of the top 100 best workplaces in the
U.S. with more than 1,000 employees. Though the company has more
than 4,300 employees around the country, it is the only ranked
company headquartered in Nevada to
make the list. It is also the only low-cost airline to receive the
honor.
"We're so proud to receive this recognition, because it comes
directly from our employees. It means we are succeeding in our
efforts to engage employees and creating a culture where they feel
welcomed and valued," said Rebecca
Henry, Allegiant's vice president of people services.
On Glassdoor, current and former employees voluntarily and
anonymously share insights and opinions about their work
environments by sharing a company review, designed to capture a
genuine and authentic inside look at what a specific job may be
like at a particular company. When sharing a company review on
Glassdoor, employees are asked to rate their satisfaction with the
company overall, and key workplace factors like career
opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values,
senior management and work/life balance. In addition, employees are
asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as
well as any downsides.
Competitive wages, travel benefits, community engagement
activities and company culture were among the factors that make
Allegiant a great company to work for, employees said in their
online reviews. Many comments also referred to Allegiant's senior
leadership and their openness to progressive and innovative
ideas.
Other comments referred to Allegiant's corporate giving
philosophy and the company's partnership with Make-A-Wish as
qualities that make it such an appealing place to work. Since 2012,
Allegiant has partnered with Make-A-Wish, helping to fulfill the
wishes of more than 1,800 children. The airline is currently a Wish
Champion, recognized for making $1
million in annual contributions.
"This year marks the shift to a culture-first decade in the
workplace, and Glassdoor's Employees' Choice Awards winners are
employers that are prioritizing culture, mission and employees at
the heart of everything they do. By doing so, their employees have
spoken and are recognizing them truly as the Best Places to Work in
2020," said Christian
Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor president, chief operating
officer and incoming chief executive officer. "In addition to
putting culture and mission at the core of how they operate, this
year's winners stand out for promoting transparency with employees,
offering career growth opportunities and providing work driven by
impact and purpose. Congratulations go to all of the exceptional
employers this year who stand out in the eyes of their
employees."
Glassdoor's Best Places to Work were determined using company
reviews shared by U.S.-based employees between October 23, 2018 and October 21, 2019. To be considered for the U.S.
large category, a company must have had at least 1,000 or more
employees and have received at least 75 ratings across each of the
eight workplace attributes from U.S.-based employees during the
period of eligibility. The final list is compiled using Glassdoor's
proprietary algorithm, led by its Economic Research Team, and takes
into account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
