The list of National Top Workplaces is based on employee feedback from over 4,000 organizations surveyed with 1,000+ employees across the 30 regional Top Workplaces programs. This included survey responses from more than half a million employees. Universal was the only security and janitorial company to make the list.

"Regardless of the current economic conditions, the battle to attract and retain talent is the biggest challenge we face. To be considered as a top place to work by our employees is the biggest honor we can receive," said Steve Jones, Co-CEO/COO of Universal Services of America. "Additionally, to be ranked in the top 30 out of 4,000 organizations surveyed nationally is proof that we are living our mission statement, and creating and cultivating partnerships with our employees."

"Our culture has always been to invest in our employees—they are the life blood of our organization," said Brian Cescolini, Chairman/Co-CEO of Universal Services of America. "We are proud to be recognized and being included in the exclusive group of great companies."
