Analyst

I worked for the company. Fortune 500 best company to work for 10 years in a row, and they're #5 on that list this year. This company is amazing. Shares shed 40% of their value last year, based on fears that WFMI couldn't maintain their double digit growth. Those fears are probably right, but WFMI's superior products, combined with superior employee treatment, and superior leadership (board members who reviewed our store showed up in khakis and burkenstocks) mean this one is going to be an awesome long term buy. Love this company, if my prospects didn't pan out in my chosen career, I would not hesitate to go back and work for this company. It's that good.
