And In-N-Out's success on Glassdoor doesn't end there. In 2018, the job site ranked Snyder as the fourth best CEO in the country. And her fast food chain has been listed as one of the best places to work in the US every year since 2015.

Snyder herself worked at a In-N-Out restaurant when she was 18.

In other words, the 70-year-old burger chain provides employees with good wages, solid benefits, and a chance to grow their careers within the company.

"It is very important to me that In-N-Out Burger is a great employer because I value our associates so much," Snyder told Glassdoor in 2017. "They are the reason for our success and they deserve to enjoy coming to work, to feel appreciated and to be treated like family, which is what I consider them."

What's more, Snyder knows what it's like to work in an In-N-Out restaurant. At the age of 18, she spent some time working at an In-N-Out in Redding, California, according to Forbes. She also worked in the chain's corporate office before ascending to the role of president at the age of 27.

Snyder, who became president of the fast food company in 2010, also told Forbes about her dedication to preserving In-N-Out Burger's culture. Snyder's grandparents founded the first In-N-Out Burger back in 1948, and the family has turned down lucrative offers for the chain ever since.

"I really wanted to make sure that we stayed true to what we started with," she told Forbes. "That required me to become a protector. A guardian."
