NuStar Energy L.P. moved up 15 spots in the 15th<\/sup> annual \u201c100 Best Companies to Work For\u201d list<\/a>, which appeared in the February 6 issue of FORTUNE Magazine. NuStar made this list four years in a row and moved to 15th<\/sup> place up from 30 last year. \u00a0<\/p>\n

NuStar is recognized for paying 100% of employees\u2019 health care premiums<\/a>, \u00a0having a no-layoff policy, and matching 401(k) contributions up to 6 percent of pay.<\/p>\n

\u201c2012 is off to a great start as once again we earned a place on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list,\u201d said Curt Anastasio, President and CEO of NuStar Energy L.P. \u201cThanks to our employees, we have a lot of reasons to be positive about NuStar\u2019s recent accomplishments and bright future. Year-after-year, our employees have helped us generate strong earnings, expand our operations through acquisitions and internal growth projects, earn one of the best safety records in the industry, contribute record amounts of time and money to our communities, and build on our reputation as a great place to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

NuStar Chairman Bill Greehey added, \u201cJust earning a place on this prestigious list is a tremendous honor as some companies apply and never make the list. It\u2019s even more noteworthy when you consider that we\u2019ve earned a place four years in a row \u2013 every year that we\u2019ve applied. Because this honor is based primarily on confidential employee surveys, we are especially proud of our ranking as it reflects our employees\u2019 positive, can-do spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the considerations in NuStar\u2019s selection for this honor include the company\u2019s employee benefits plan, which has been rated the best\u00a0in its industry by Hewitt Associates; its reward and recognition programs; commitment to volunteerism and charitable giving; and special corporate culture.<\/p>\n

NuStar, which has a voluntary turnover rate of only 3 percent, offers all-employee bonuses; a retirement savings plan that includes a 401(k) match of 100 percent up to 6 percent of pay and<\/em> a company-funded retirement plan; company-paid health and welfare benefits that are 100 percent funded for employees and their families; and a health and wellness program.<\/p>\n

The company also has never had a layoff in its history, and instills in employees the philosophy that if they do a good job, they will always have a good job.<\/p>\n
