A common purpose, stewardship, along with a shared vision, mission, culture, and values empower every Sasser employee to leave their mark on our business for the benefit of future generations of customers and employees. Our commitment to living these shared beliefs make Sasser a best place to work for current and potential employees who thrive in an employee-driven, opportunity-based culture.

"Sasser is a truly special place to work because our values and culture are rooted in a legacy of stewardship that began in 1928 when Fred H. Sasser started a small business on Chicago's South Side—Central West Refrigerator Despatch. Mr. Sasser's approach, which was revolutionary at the time, was to treat his customers as partners. This drove the growth of his business and laid the foundation for the family of companies we are today. We are intentional about emphasizing our purpose, values, and culture in what we say, but more important by what we do. There is an expectation at Sasser that every member of our team, beginning with senior leadership, live our values in their interactions with our customers and one another. We are honored to be recognized by Crain's Chicago Business as a 2020 Best Places to Work finalist," said Jeffrey Walsh, CEO of Sasser Family Companies.

Sasser will be honored during the 2020 Best Places to Work in Chicago awards event on Friday, April 17 at the Hilton Chicago.
