First of all, the number one job in Maine should be being a dog mom. But that's not on the list of the best companies to work for in Maine on Zippia, nor do I get paid for it, so I guess I'll have to move on.

I do happen to know that there are tons of good companies to work for in Maine, so it had to have been a hard decision to determine the top dog. Here's how they calculated their rankings. The secret formula like a Krabby Patty in SpongeBob, if you will.

According to Zippia.com, this is the Krabby Patty secret formula:

"We figured out the best companies to work for in Maine using data on salaries, company financial health, and employee diversity".

Geiger is the number one best company to work for in the state of Maine.

According to their website,

"Geiger is a company which deals with marketing, advertising, and promotions of products. We provide expert advice and support to our clients, creatively solving their marketing, promotion and motivation challenges".

I feel like I constantly hear that WEX (which is #3 on the list) and IDEX (#5) are two of the more popular companies people like to work for in this area.

Another popular company (in fact, the company that I feel best represents Maine) that's also ranked very highly as an employer is L.L.Bean at #6. I imagine it's like living in the reality TV show Outdoor Man, which would be SO FUN!
