Ingredients for a Best Place to Work: ETS Express (asi/51197), which has previously placed on Counselor’s Best Places to Work list and is the only Polyconcept company to make this year’s ranking, proudly maintains its family-owned feel despite being owned by a global entity since 2019. “It’s the people – everything starts here,” says Marketing Manager Fernanda Larriva. “We don’t take ourselves too seriously; we work hard and understand that our work is important, but we also take time during the day to find something to laugh about. It makes it easy to come to work each day knowing that you’ll be around people who are working hard and in a good mood.”
The sense of teamwork, opportunities for growth and desire to keep pushing forward creates a positive environment. “We all feel part of something greater and that our hard work is making a difference,” Larriva says. “Our company still has a family-owned vibe that feels safe and inclusive for everyone.”

Top Benefits & Perks: “One of the best perks is always being the friend or family member with the coolest, latest, most beautiful piece of drinkware at the party,” Larriva says. There are additional enticements of course: Holiday office closures, casual dress code, catered company-wide lunches (often with visits from the California-famous In-N-Out Burger food trucks), holiday-themed contests with prizes like flat-screen TVs, team-building events and a holiday party at the end of the year.
