It's a myth that workers' foremost concerns when looking for a job is finding a company that will offer fancy bells and whistles — bean bags, ping pong tables and craft beer. The truth is that for most workers, pay and benefits are what matters most. In fact, almost one-third of millennials say they would break up with their significant other for a raise.
They found that the top 15 companies weren't all Silicon Valley tech startups, but rather that organizations from a range of industries across the country managed to make their workers feel respected and taken care of — regardless of whether they offered ping pong tables.
"They have a graduated wage program that's based purely on total hours worked. Show up, do your job and your pay goes up on its own," says one Costco employee. Another employee said that their benefits were"second to none." "FedEx provided me a great job with great benefits. I worked there for 20 years with great vacation time, benefits, stability and a great environment. It is a company that still provides a pension, which in these days is rare," said one employee.
