Metro Commercial is a privately owned company that’s been in business since 1987. Some of our employees have been with us from almost that time. It says a lot for a company to have such high re- tention and low turnover. We still offer a match with our 401k plan which most real estate companies have done away with. We also pro- vide three levels of health insur- ance so that it is affordable to ev- eryone in our company. We close at 4:00 p.m. every Friday, not just in the summers. We pay the tuition for anyone that wants to get their real estate license. We also have company events throughout the year including Phillies’ games, barbecues, and happy hours.

Skanska aims to create a culture that empowers all employees to prevent accidents. All of Skanska’s job- sites and offices in the U.S. participate in a morning exercise called Stretch & Flex, designed to prepare workers both mentally and physically for the workday.

A majority of the employees at Progress Capital Advisors have been with the firm for more than a decade. A com- mercial mortgage brokerage company formed over 20 years ago, Progress has been through many financial cycles, some of which were extremely reward- ing and others which were very challenging. The fact that all the employees care and support each other and the company, has resulted in a very tightly knit team. Kathy Anderson has always provided a working environment where each em- ployee can grow and be chal- lenged and everyone pitches in, no matter how hard or insig- nificant the task.

Yes, Jake is our official mascot and comes to work with Kathy as often as he can.
