Yahoo Finance 7 Companies With Perks That Will Totally Make You Jealous
Think you have it good?
Does your employer's benefits and perks package meet your needs? If not, learning about what these seven standout companies offer their staffs could fuel a bit of workplace envy. Check out some of the most generous perks.
The photo-sharing website offers one of the most au courant corporate perks -- unlimited vacation days. "Employees can take the time they need to feel refreshed and balanced," says Pinterest spokeswoman Jamie Favazza. The San Francisco-based company also keeps its "Pinployees" outfitted with whatever Apple equipment they might need, as part of an initiative to help staff be as productive as possible.
Clif Bar & Company
It makes sense that an organic food company would promote physical well-being for its staff. At the corporate headquarters in Emeryville, California, employees have access to an on-site dance studio, gym and rock climbing wall. Clif Bar & Company workers also receive 2 1/2 hours of paid workout time each week.
Bain & Company
The management consulting firm Bain & Company understands that effective workers need time to recharge. Its "Take Two" program gives employees the opportunity to take a two-month break from work "to rejuvenate and/or fulfill personal goals," according to the corporate website.
Salesforce
This San Francisco-based cloud computing company folds inventive wellness options into its benefits package. Highlights include a reimbursement of $100 per month for services such as massages, yoga classes and nutrition counseling and a takeout food credit of up to $250 for employees to use during parental or disability leave.
Dropbox
Yet another Silicon Valley company -- Dropbox -- makes annual appearances on best companies lists partially due to its on-site amenities. The file-sharing service keeps employees well-fed (the company cafe offers free gourmet options such as black bean and avocado salmon and chicken curry chaat), creative (there's a music studio for impromptu jam sessions) and well-kempt (haircuts and laundry services are available). Maybe we should all move to San Francisco?
Mattel
The toy manufacturer responsible for Barbies, Hot Wheels and Pictionary has a long history of delighting families, which spills over into its corporate operations. Full-time employees receive paid time off to participate in their school-related events, plus paid time off to volunteer with the Mattel Children's Foundation.
Zillow
The online real estate database Zillow offers mothers hospital-grade breast-feeding pumps and refrigerators in its Seattle headquarters. Zillow also pays to overnight deliver a nursing mom's breast milk back home, should she have to travel for work.
