Monument Wealth Management is excited to announce its placement in Washington Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work!” This is the fourth year in a row that Monument has been awarded this honor.

Washington Business Journal selects the winners by evaluating job satisfaction survey responses that are filled out by each company’s employees. The winners are split into four lists: Small (10-24 employees), Medium (25-49 employees), Large (50-249 employees), and Extra-Large (250-99,999 employees).

A Few Reasons Why We Made the List

The Monument Team has always valued the company’s culture of open communication, honesty, and collaboration. The Team feels empowered to speak up and be heard, and they get to work together on major company decisions. The employees also love their office environment; the open office design is fun and engaging, the walls and furniture are brightly colored, and full length windows provide views out over Old Town Alexandria. The Team is encouraged to attend conferences and workshops, and further their education with classes. Monument also allows for a flexible work schedule, understanding that “things come up” that need to be taken care of.

Along with Monument’s feature in Washington Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” rankings from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, Monument was also featured in Research Magazine’s 2012 article, “A Cool Place to Work: How Advisory Firms Are Attracting, Retaining Top Employees,” and was named a Washingtonian “Small Gem.”
