Built on Honor

“This national honor stems from a number of factors. It begins with a top-notch group of employees who care about our work and about each other. They live our motto ‘Built on Honor.’ That’s our north star and brings us together,” said Hartzell Propeller President JJ Frigge. “We also have engaged owners who love the company and aviation. Collectively, we are a tight knit group.”

To develop the rankings, Forbes partnered with a research firm, which used a number of tools to measure different aspects of employers with 200 to 1000 employees. They used anonymous surveys, tracked job-related websites to gauge employer reputation, engagement, retention, and analyzed social listening techniques.

These efforts created hundreds of thousands of data points on an initial pool of 10,000 employers across America. The employers with the highest data points overall made it onto the final list of 300. Hartzell Propeller's career website is at Employment | Hartzell Propeller Inc.
