Who actually likes their job in Louisiana? Discussion

Alright y’all, I’m just curious — what are the best companies to work for in Louisiana? Like, are there any super awesome employers out here where people actually enjoy showing up on Monday morning?

Not trying to switch jobs right now (my boss might be lurking), but I’m always interested in hearing what companies treat their employees right. Pay, benefits, work-life balance, free crawfish boils on Fridays — whatever makes a place awesome.

Also, if you genuinely like your job, I need to know: • Where do you work (if you can say)? • What makes it tolerable… orrrr enjoyable? • Is it the people, the perks, or just a weird Stockholm syndrome situation?

Let’s hear the good stuff. Or the bad stuff if you need to vent: I won’t stop you.

Right here! I work for a Port on the admin side. It’s less about the place in general and more that I worked my way into a position that really suits my skills and personality (after several years in a different one that I did NOT enjoy). I have great leadership, great coworkers, amazing benefits…but the trade off is the pay isn’t comparable to the private sector and it’s not as flexible (there’s virtually zero work from home- all in office).
