Dream Job...Insurance Salesman?

摘要

Acuity's home office in Sheboygan, Wis., already includes what the property and casualty insurance company says is the tallest flagpole in the U.S., at 400 feet. And when a 240,000-square-foot expansion of headquarters is completed in 2016, employees will get to ride on a 65-foot Ferris wheel-indoors. Yes, these outsize landmarks are eye-catching. But CEO Ben Salzmann says they are gifts to the community. Founded in 1925 by farmers in rural Wisconsin looking to insure against the hazards of horseless carriages, Acuity, with $1.1 billion in annual revenue, makes an impressive debut at No. 3 on this year's list, alongside global companies such as Google and Boston Consulting Group.
