surprised not to see AT&T, which has the regional hq in OKC.
Good to see Boeing and the financial companies. ...
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
The UCO number on that list is low but with a caveat, it's the staff and faculty count but without student employees. I wouldn't be shocked if the OU numbers have a similar missing element.
Dolese has 1000+ (majority in OKC Metro areas) statewide employed and is one of the oldest operating companies in Oklahoma.
OU Health laying off 100 employees. They have also suspended their retirement match for next 6-12 months. They've been downgraded by Moody's largely due to debt levels compared to cash on hand (1.3 billion in debt)
Interesting about OU Health, they appeared to be on the brink of a major expansion. Similar to how many other states have hospital systems operated by their flagship universities.
Being the sole Level 1 trauma center in the state exposes them to excessive debt load. While they never have much liquidity on hand, apparently it has never been this little.
Where did the last list of employers go? It appears 3 seeks of posts disappeared.
Integris cut 200 positions yesterday without much warning. 140 people lost jobs, not sure in which departments, but I know IT was affected.
Until recently I thought that Hobby Lobby would be on the list. They raised wages and added an onsite medical facility. That all sounds good on the surface. I have a neighbor who works there and they treat people like cattle. They get 3 holidays a year, Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. Last Christmas fell on Sunday so they gave them Monday off but made them all work the following Saturday to make up for it. He also gets written up if he has miss work to go to a doctors appointment. They have a lot of turn over and it is no wonder.

If you look at employees ratings on Indeed, there have been almost 6 thousand reviews and they have a 3.6 out of 5 rating. Better than your statement would seem to indicate.
FWIW, Zippia has them rated this way:
Hobby Lobby is ranked #25 on the Best Companies to Work For in Oklahoma list. Zippia's Best Places to Work lists provide unbiased, data-based evaluations of companies. Rankings are based on government and proprietary data on salaries, company financial health, and employee diversity.

#8 in Best Companies to Work For in Oklahoma City, OK

We have to keep in mind that not all the Hobby Lobby jobs are created equal. The amount of pay and benefits a retail store worker at Hobby works is better than your average retail job.
I think the minimum for retail is $18 an hour for HL.
