Newsweek: Bass Pro, AECI among most trustworthy companies

Posted online

Two Springfield businesses are ranked on Newsweek's annual list of the most trustworthy companies in America.

Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. and Bass Pro Shops are named in the report, in which Newsweek partnered with market research firm Statista to gather results. The list comprises 700 U.S. companies in 23 industries with at least $500 million in revenue based on evaluations by customers, employees and investors.

AECI has an industry ranking of No. 5 in energy and utilities. The Springfield-based utility company serves some 2.1 million people, according to its website. No. 1 in AECI's category is Arizona-based First Solar out of 47 companies ranked.

Springfield-based outdoor retailer Bass Pro is ranked at No. 16, two spots behind Target, out of 61 businesses in the retail category. The company has 170 stores in the United States and Canada, according to its website. Seattle-based Amazon is No. 1 in retail.

No other southwest Missouri companies are on the Newsweek list.

I can not believe Bass Pro was a trustworthy co. When I went to work with my husband, Dr. Andy Wright, one of my duties was to pre authorize surgeries. We were in net work and it was easy to do w/ the proper info to show that surgery was needed. The co, did pay us. But the problem popped up if a patient needed a biggie surgery, a hysterectomy, a bladder lift w/ a ****** pro lapse repair. etc, before they were scheduled to come back to work, the patient would get a call to say their job had been eliminated, They were of course upset, but was assured they could come back and reapply for their job or any other position that was open. Of course the patient would go in and reapply for their job, but they learned that they had lost their former pay level, and their access to any benefits they once had. By that time their anger set in and they refused to work for the company. It is no wonder Bass Pro always had a large variety of jobs available. If you know of any one who needs a job w/ a local co. w/ benefits I would recommend Andy's Frozen Custard. We were in net wok w/ their insurance and their employees all say "they hung the moon.".
