MARINA DEL REY, Calif. - August 10th, 2009 – Guidance, which helps online retailers achieve market domination by creating captivating and engaging online shopping experiences, today announced that it has been named one of Los Angeles’ best places to work for the second consecutive year. The rankings were published in the Aug. 10 edition of the Los Angeles Business Journal (http://www.bestplacestoworkla.com).

"For more than 15 years, we’ve looked for ways to create and maintain an innovative and rewarding work environment at Guidance -- from flexible work arrangements, competitive salaries and semi-annual bonuses, to bring-your-dog-to-work Fridays, monthly company gatherings and our environmental responsibility program (http://www.guidancegreen.org). This award is a reflection of our team, our corporate culture and our core values, and it is truly an honor to be recognized by the entire Los Angeles community for who we are and what we’ve done to excel in these areas.”
