20 Companies With The Best Perks



I'm going to be honest, radio has some of the best perks you can get with a job! Concerts, events, goods, meals, etc.

What kind of perks do you get at YOUR job?

Here is a list of the top twenty perks at companies, with MN's own General Mills landing at number 6.

1. Pinterest

Office perks: Pinterest hacks are notoriously hit or miss, but the company holds regular Hackathons, where employees choose a creative idea and work together to make it happen. And in lieu of hacks, there's a weekly happy hour where employees get to ask questions to the founders of Pinterest.

2. SC Johnson

Office perks: An on-site concierge is available to mail your packages, send flowers, deliver groceries to your house, and get the oil in your car changed. Other cool perk? Whenever you retire, you're rewarded with a lifetime membership to the company fitness center.

3. Mars (food manufacturer)

Office perks: If you work at Mars Chocolate (brands like Snickers and Twix) or Wrigley (brands like Skittles and Starburst) you get FREE CANDY! (All the pink Starbursts your heart desires.) And if you work for any of their pet divisions, then bringing your furry friend to the office is encouraged.

4. ThousandEyes (an IT performance management company)

Office perks: Sustenance is key for the ThousandEyes employees. Which means lunch is free and catered every day, and if you're working late, dinner gets comped. Did I mention that the office has an intense espresso machine, and employees get free Espresso 101 classes, like "Latte Art."

5. Google

Office perks: On site doctors and medical services to keep employees healthy without the awfulness of waiting rooms. Free lunch, dinner, massages, yoga, and car washes are also part of the package.

6. General Mills (in Minnesota!)

Office perks: Flexibility is the name of the Mills game. When you start at the company, you automatically get three weeks of paid vacation a year, and that increases the longer you work there. Plus, they have flexible work arrangements and encourage telecommuting and/or working part-time when it helps your schedule.
