We’re thrilled to announce that VermontBiz magazine and the Vermont Chamber of Commerce have named us the second-best place to work in Vermont among small businesses!
This is the eighth year Stone has been a Best Places to Work in Vermont winner, celebrated at the annual awards ceremony at the DoubleTree Hilton in South Burlington. The second-place distinction, from 41 businesses in the same category, was a big surprise that we learned about at the event!
To join these ranks, Stone embarks on a rigorous examination, gathering information about office culture, training opportunities, benefits, work-life balance, and — most importantly — how employees feel about their company and the work they do. We were honored to experience the excitement and pride with 64 other great companies.
