1. Sears
Most people recognize Sears as the department store common to countless shopping malls. While its department stores are certainly popular, Sears Holdings operates several other brandsas well.
Sears recently named Ron Boire as its new retail chief. The company has ambitions of transforming its retail business after posting poor holiday sales with both its Sears and Kmart brands.
Employee Review: "My favorite thing about working with Sears is the stability. The company has been around for over 100 years and is one of the largest in the world. It has great benefits and work-life balance is excellent. I don't have to worry about being on-call on nights and weekends. They have really great quality people who are easy to get along with."*

2. Citi
With the world's largest financial services network, Citigroup Inc. spans 140 countries and employs roughly 260,000 worldwide. After suffering from massive losses during the financial crisis of 2008, the company fell from the esteemed title of "largest bank in the world by assets." They are, however, still one of the "big four" banks in the United States. By the end of 2010, Citigroup repaid in full the emergency government aid it had received.
In a recent report, Citi said it increased loans to small businessesin the U.S. throughout 2011. This amount is over 30 percent higher than their small business lending in 2010.
Employee Review: "Nice co-workers, good hours, pleasant management, good location, interesting work spanning decades of involvement in the country. Good springboard for future jobs."*

3. Chrysler - Mopar
Although the term "Mopar" has come into use for any Chrysler-branded product, it is officially the parts-and-service division for the Chrysler Group, which includes Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram brands in North America. Mopar is based in Center Line, Mich.
Pietro Gorlier, CEO of Mopar and former vice president of Fiat, says that Fiat saw a great deal of untapped potential in the Mopar brand. Fiat took control of the Chrysler Group in 2009, and not long ago announced a new management structure as part of the merger.
The company recently announced the addition of 400 to 500 new jobs in Illinois. These jobs will support the production of the new Dodge Dart compact car, and augment the approximately 2,700 current jobs at the Illinois plant.
Employee Review: "The company is extremely adaptable and resilient after its financial distress in recent years, and the company is very hopeful for the future. The need for young and creative people is overwhelming -- those without automotive background may be better positioned than they think!"*

The company was recently named the "Top Organization for Multicultural Business Opportunities" by DiversityBusiness.com.

Originally founded as Federated Department Stores in 1929, the company was officially renamed Macy's in 2007. With over 800 stores across the nation, Macy's is one of the largest retail companies in the United States. Macy's sales rose throughout 2010 and it already has announced plans to hire 3,500 employees in the next two years.
Of the major department store brands (Macy's, Dillards, Sears, Saks Fifth Avenue and J.C. Penney), Macy's was the highest performer throughout 2011, according to a recent report. Retail sales in December were weak, yet still strong enough to post an overall record for 2011, and the largest annual increase in over a decade.
Employee Review: "The management is competent. Employees are given a good discount and still able to use coupons. You can pick up more hours online when they become available."*
