Days After Gingrich Attacked Romney’s Private Sector Job Creation, Bain Awarded Best Employer
November 10, 1993 - Mitt Romney is pictured working at Bain & Company, Inc. in Boston, MA.
Just a few days after Newt Gingrich’s attack on capitalism and Mitt Romney’s free market, risk-taking work at Bain, an unexpected feather has been added to Romney’s cap…
A company saved from bankruptcy by Romney was named the Best Employer In America – Bain & Company (beating out trendy tech companies).
Business Insider 12/15/11:
The best employer in America — according to an annual report from Glassdoor — is a company that was saved from bankruptcy by Mitt Romney.
Bain & Company today is defined by Romney, and that says a lot for his capabilities as a leader.
While Romney held a longer tenure at the head of Bain Capital (a 1983 spinoff from the consulting firm), his year as CEO of Bain & Co had a massive impact.
Romney was brought on as CEO in 1991 to save the company from financial collapse. In 12 months, he completely turned the company around, bringing it back to profitability and avoiding layoffs by fixing the governance structure and creating more transparency. For example, he allowed managers to see each other’s salaries. After handing off the firm to new leadership, he went back to his old job at Bain Capital.
A recent profile by New York Mag’s Benjamin Wallace-Wells revealed what it was like to work with Romney. No one would ever curse or drink around him, and “they understood that his social life would be his family life,” although he never talked about his Mormonism. People saw him “as a handsome guy with a great handshake” …June 24, 2011 - Dedicated and energetic Bain & CO employees volunteer at St. Anthony's charitable organization in San Fran, CA serving food, clearing tables, and working in the food pantry.

…[H]e was also “an extremely hard worker and an egalitarian boss… [who] inspired intense loyalty, and there are still members of his circle who describe him as a perfect CEO.” Romney was a popular leader despite a reputation for frugality …
This admirable culture seems to have stuck.
This week Bain & Co was named the best company to work for in America by a longshot, rating 4.7 out of 5 on Glassdoor’s extensive survey.

Washington outsider job creator Romney is exactly what America needs.

Congratulations! And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect!
Agree, Valerie. This prestigious award puts an exclamation point on Gingrich’s incompetency and a spotlight on Mitt’s competence!
Just looking at those volunteers gives Bain and Mitt a double plus ++ … Clean-looking and clean-cut young men and women, happy with their work and volunteerism. United in a cause, just as Romney will do to steer America back toward its position as the world’s top example of honesty, innovation, success, and integrity!
First thanks for posting this article.
It is a timely piece. It shows the effects of Bain’s “Capitalist” business support. It shows that Mitt Romney is revered in his profession. It shows another line of success that finds the roots of that success in Mitt Romney. It also shows Mitt understands the economy and how to make businesses successful. It shows he knows how to get management and staff to work together.
It puts a positive spin on what Bain Capital does which has been used against Mitt Romney by the KILL MITT liberal left and by Newt last week. Now Mitt just needs to go to that location at the appropriate time and hold a townhall meeting. Bring emphasis to that business as he moves forward. All in all, it comes behind some very powerful endorsements and helps Mitt assert himself again as the man to beat.
Thanks again Jayde for the post.

A GREAT article that should be forwarded to any person thinking of voting for any of the other candidate. I am surprised that Romney does not speak more often of the extraordinary work and effort to completely reverse the fortunes of the Olympics at a time of extreme security concerns —> Taking it from $379 million in revenue shortfalls to a $100 million profit. But then again, it fits his modest style. Nobody compares to Romney; not even close. Thanks Jayde; this is GREAT!
Jayde the Bain of Newt’s existence!
The thing is…will the media even acknowledge this? Mitt deserves to be recognize!
All Americans should study this article!
I’ve been praying for Mitt every day!
