Case Study: Queensboro Shirt Company achieves long-term employee retention and improved morale with Wonderlic

Queensboro Shirt Company - Customer Case Study

Queensboro Shirt Company, founded in 1982 by Fred Meyers in Wilmington, NC, is a leading provider of affordable, custom-embroidered apparel known for low minimums and fast turnaround. The business struggled with high employee turnover and needed a reliable way to ensure hires—especially customer service reps and machine operators—had the basic skills to handle complex, order-driven work.

Queensboro began using the Wonderlic Personnel Test across all hiring, which quickly cut turnover, produced several decade-long employee tenures, and boosted company-wide morale. The test gave management confidence that new hires had the necessary skills, improving retention and overall workplace stability.
