Vistage Named a Best Place to Work in San Diego for Fifth Consecutive Year
San Diego, CA (September 10, 2025) — Vistage, the world’s largest CEO coaching and peer advisory organization for small and midsize businesses, has once again been named a Best Place to Work in San Diego by the San Diego Business Journal. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Vistage has received the honor, recognizing its ongoing commitment to leadership—not just among its members, but within its own walls.
“We’re honored to be recognized once again as one of San Diego’s Best Places to Work,” said Sam Reese, CEO of Vistage. “This award is a testament to our team’s deep commitment to our purpose of helping high-integrity leaders make great decisions that benefit their companies, families and communities. Our culture is rooted in trust, caring, and continuous growth, and it’s inspiring to see how our employees live those values every day.”
The San Diego Business Journal Best Places to Work list honors employers in San Diego that are making their workplaces great. Results are based on a comprehensive employer questionnaire evaluating workplace policies as well as an employee survey measuring satisfaction, professional development opportunities, and overall engagement.
The recognition as one of the Best Places to Work reflects Vistage’s ongoing efforts to prioritize employee satisfaction and engagement. The company offers extensive benefits including HMO and PPO plans, 401K matching, FSA contribution, EAP, and more. Vistage additionally sponsors outings to Padres games, holiday parties, food trucks, as well as a variety of other onsite and remote events to promote employee connection. Employees appreciate Vistage’s career investments including Employee Development Days, opportunities to learn and grow from world-class leaders like Adam Grant and James Clear, free learning through online learning platform Udemy, and tuition reimbursement, among others.
San Diego Business Journal partners with Workforce Research Group to identify those employers who are creating cultures that make employees proud to be a part of them. The evaluation process includes two surveys to gather detailed data about each participating company. Employers are asked to fill out an in-depth questionnaire about their company policies, practices, benefits, and demographics. Additionally, employees are asked to take a survey rating a set of statements about the company’s culture on a Likert scale and includes open-ended responses. Workforce Research Group conducts the surveys, analyzes the data, and determines the winners and rankings.
