Quick 'n dirty research/opinion question re corporations' reputations

[MANative]

If you've got a minute...

Name three large corporations that have a deserved reputation for treating both customers and employees well. Specifically, a "warm and fuzzy feel-good" reputation.

I would name Costco, maybe Starbucks with some of its recent forays into corporate citizenship, and possibly L.L. Bean.

Your thoughts? (For an internal discussion within my micro-company about marketing strategies.)

1. IIRC, Harley-Davidson is employee owned.

And they have some loyal customers.

3. A lot of good Loyal Customers I must say

I'm not a biker but if I was to buy a motorcycle I'd buy a HD.
Been around 'm for years. Used to keep one on the road for a very much lacking in mechanical skills friend years ago.
I kept that baby where you could start it with one arm if you wanted too. He used to make bets at the bar and at the creek on that actually.
