The Sacramento area is the home of two companies on Fortune Magazine's list of 100 Best Companies to Work For. Congratulations to Nugget Market and Vision Service Plan.

Nugget Market, an 80-year old, family-owned company located in Woodland, enjoys an employee turnover of 8%. According to Fortune Magazine, this is an unheard of rate in the grocery industry. Not only is the Nugget Market a good company to work for, it's a great store to shop. Nugget is my favorite grocery chain in the Sacramento region.

Vision Service Plan, a Rancho Cordova, non-profit, eye-care benefits company, is known for fantastic perks such as 15% of salary contributions to employees' 401(k) and 100% coverage of health insurance premiums.

In the best small companies category (1,000 to 2,500 employees), Nugget Market ranks number 3 and Vision Service Plan ranks number 7.

Well done!
