Aera named an America’s Best Midsize Employer by Forbes

Aera Energy has been named to Forbes America’s Midsize Employers List for the fourth time.

Forbes’ top midsize employers were selected based on the results of a series of independent and anonymous surveys conducted among 45,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 but no more than 5,000 employees. The employees surveyed were asked whether they would recommend their employer and about topics such as working conditions, professional development opportunities and compensation.
