These 10 Companies Have the Best Compensation and Benefits

While there’s more to a job than the pay, compensation matters. Otherwise, there’d be a lot more professional dog walkers in the world.

And beyond base salary, a company’s benefits can also have a big impact on your bottom line and happiness. After all, six in 10 workers who are extremely satisfied with their benefits are also extremely satisfied with their job overall, according to a 2017 study from the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

A new ranking from job site Indeed found the companies with the best compensation and benefits compared to others in their industries. Check out the following list to see some of their cool perks and see how your company stacks up.
