CBE Named One of the Best Places to Work in Collections

WATERLOO, IA – The CBE Group, Inc. (CBE) was recently named as one of the Best Places to Work in Collections. This program was created by insideARM.com and Best Companies Group.

This survey and award program was designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in the collections industry, benefiting the nation's economy, its workforce and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Collections list is made up of 25 companies divided into three size categories: Small (15-74 employees), Medium (75-249 employees) and Large (250+

employees).

Companies from across the country entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Collections.
