Best companies to work for in Pico Rivera?

Anyone else feel this way? It's a a smaller city city with about 60,821 people. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Would love some local perspective. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a project manager who relocated here from Minneapolis about 12 years ago. The main reasons were family and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are established, gas is pretty good.

Socially, I love the pace of life here. Hope this helps!.
