LOS ANGELES, CA - The Wonderful Company, a $6 billion agriculture, real estate, and consumer packaged goods company with a 10,000-person global workforce, has again been named one of Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For®, earning the No. 72 spot in 2026, up 13 spots from its No. 85 ranking last year. This is The Wonderful Company’s third year in a row making the list, and it remains the only agriculture enterprise among this year’s 100 honorees.
The prestigious recognition is the sole national workplace ranking based entirely on candid and anonymous employee feedback. It puts The Wonderful Company in an elite cohort with other household names like American Express, Delta Air Lines, Accenture, Cisco, and Marriott International.
“This recognition means more to us than almost any other – because it comes entirely from our own people,” said Lynda and Stewart Resnick, co-owners and vice chairman and chairman, respectively, of The Wonderful Company, in the recent release. “The culture we have built together proves, year after year, that a company can win in business and do right by its people and communities. We are deeply proud of this collective achievement, and eternally grateful to work alongside people who bring this much passion and purpose to everything they do.”
One of the nation’s largest privately held companies, Wonderful owns and produces iconic, healthy brands, including FIJI Water, POM Wonderful, Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Halos, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Teleflora, and JUSTIN, Lewis Cellars, and Landmark wines. In recognizing the business, Fortune noted not just The Wonderful Company’s positive work environment, but its steadfast commitment to improving the communities where employees and their families live.
“They focus on the PERSON and then the job. I have not met anyone who isn’t willing to jump in and help when you need it, give you advice, or just chat about life,” said one Wonderful Company employee in an anonymous survey response.
To date, The Wonderful Company and the Resnicks, along with their foundations, have invested more than $2.5 billion in philanthropy and corporate social responsibility efforts across education, health and wellness, community infrastructure, and environmental sustainability in California’s Central Valley, Fiji, and Los Angeles, where the company is headquartered. For this work, the company also was recognized last year by PEOPLE magazine, topping its annual Companies that Care list.
Fortune magazine and Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected this year’s list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. For this year’s ranking, Great Place To Work gathered confidential survey responses from more than 640,000 employees at companies eligible for the list (with 1,000 or more U.S. staff) and ranked employers based on workers’ experiences.
“When leaders create that environment for every working person, resistance fades,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “People believe AI will improve their work, their jobs, and their careers. Trust grows, and business performance follows.”
“Fortune is proud to collaborate with Great Place To Work for the 29th year to recognize the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Amid a fast-evolving workplace landscape, employees said these organizations continue to set the standard for cultures built on trust, innovation, and care for their people. Congratulations to all who earned a place on this year’s list,” says Alyson Shontell, Fortune editor-in-chief and chief content officer.
To qualify for the Fortune list, companies must have 1,000 or more employees in the U.S., be Great Place To Work Certified™ organizations, and have consistently high survey responses across the 60 statements that constitute the Trust Index™ survey.
