Berkshire Hathaway is ranked No. 1 among large employers on the Tribune’s list of Top Workplaces.
“We know each other by name,” Glass said. “We talk to people, not about people. We don’t get mad. We get curious. We assume good intentions and are clear with our words always.”The company, which has 24 offices and customers in the Chicago metropolitan area, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, prioritizes being transparent and learning from its team. It holds roundtables monthly with small groups of employees and agents in person and virtually, Glass said.
“I love that your opinions are valued,” said Transaction Coordinator McKenzi Jackson, who has been with the company about seven years. “This is probably one of the first companies I’ve worked for where they actually asked you how you feel about something. It’s not one of those things where they ask and nothing happens. There will be action.”
“When I walked in, it felt like home,” she said. “The admin was amazing and greeted me at the door. The managing broker was phenomenal. I didn’t want to leave that meeting.” “The other thing I love is how much they invest in training and constantly providing information on the newest trends in real estate, so everybody can continue to grow as a professional and continue to grow their business.”
Giving back to the community is a priority, said Vice President and Director of Human Resources Ellen Garippo. Through its Kindness Foundation, the company raises funds to support Sunshine Kids, a nonprofit that provides activities and trips for young cancer patients. It also works with Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity, and company volunteers participate in beach cleanups, food drives and shred events.
