Rochester, NY Zweig Group has ranked Passero #5 in its “2016 Best Firms to Work For” award program. This marks Passero’s second consecutive year on the list in the category of multidiscipline firms. Passero has also been recognized by Zweig with a “Fast Growth” award.

Wayne Wegman, CEO of Passero Associates, said, “It was exciting the first time, but to be named a second time by the Zweig Group as a “Best Firms to Work For,” and to place in the top 5 of all participating A/E firms in the U.S. and Canada is a remarkable accomplishment for a firm our size. Our ability to achieve this significant industry honor can be attributed to one thing, our talented, committed staff! Their dedication to serving our clients reflects the positive work culture we have created together. We appreciate what our employees do each and every day to elevate and make this firm successful and an award-winning place to do great work!”
