The Wonderful Company is #1 on People magazine's Companies That Care list
Los Angeles-based The Wonderful Company is celebrating heading People magazine's 2025 Companies That Care list, rising from No. 3 last year. The $6 billion enterprise earned the accolade for its commitment to employees, communities, and the environment.
To qualify for the People magazine list, thousands of anonymous employees provided their input attesting to the company’s culture, leadership, and relationships with workers.
The publication highlighted The Wonderful Company’s signature Career Pathways program, empowering students to obtain an associate’s degree upon graduating from one of seven partner high schools in the Central Valley. Students also receive critical work-based learning experiences by participating in job shadows, career workshops, and paid internships at Wonderful. Since 2018, more than 1,600 students have graduated from the program with an associate’s degree.
"In the Central Valley of California, our people do the hard work of feeding our nation. Their children deserve every opportunity,” says Lynda and Stewart Resnick, owners of The Wonderful Company. “Wonderful Career Pathways is one of the many ways we are committed to ending the cycle of poverty by taking a holistic view and focusing on the social determinants of a healthy society."
Over the past decade, The Wonderful Company and the Resnicks, along with their foundations, have committed over $1 billion in the Central Valley, home to more than 3,000 of their employees. Wonderful offers free health care services to its full-time workforce in the area, including preventive care, physical therapy, prescriptions, and more.
“Witnessing the innovative spirit with which these companies invest in their employees, communities, and the world is truly invigorating,” says Charlotte Triggs, People magazine's general manager and editor-in-chief. “Their commitment reflects our mission, to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work.”
