Maybe those smiles on Costco employees’ faces aren’t fake. According to an employer satisfaction survey, Costco is the retailer with the happiest employees.

Career Bliss, a site at which workers review and comment on its employers, culled together nearly 100,000 posts and ranked the top 10 companies that earned the highest average score in growth opportunity, compensation, benefits, work-life balance, career advancement, senior management, job security and whether the employee would recommend the company to others.

The top 10 are Costco, Nordstrom, Old Navy, Best Buy, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Target, Victoria’s Secret and Petsmart.

If you’ve worked for one of these joyful, pure and benevolent companies, do you agree with their spot in the top 10?
