I don't know- seems like sometimes good and bad qualities are intertwined in the same entity. Some hole in the wall coffee shops have bad coffee, too. But if Starbucks didn't raise the bar by giving all part-time employees such good health care, etc- would any competetors have ever done it? Now you almost take it for granted that you might find a part time job, or a minimum wage, "unskilled" job with some kind of benefits- but when they started that- it was unheard of.
