Unfortunately for us, it’s been well documented that millennials are one of the hardest-worked generations ever. Not only are we obsessed with slaving away to achieve work martyr status, but we’re giving up well-earned vacation days to do so. While some of that may be because of when we entered the workforce, some of it definitely has to do with our employer’s attitude toward giving their employees ample time off. If your boss gives you a month of vacation and not only encourages you but demands you take it, you’ll be able to relax, turn off your work e-mail, and come back to the office well-rested and productive after taking a prolonged va- or stay-cation.
Of course, some companies do a better job with granting time off than others. Thankfully for us, job-search site Glassdoor helped us out by analyzing their data to find the 25 best companies for granting employees vacation time. Each company is granted a vacation “rating,” which roughly corresponds to the number of days of vacation and PTO offered, combined with employers’ attitudes about taking them. Without further ado, I present to you the 25 companies that you definitely wish you worked for.
25. Eastman Chemical
24. Humana
23. Progressive
22. Liberty Mutual
21. Deloitte
20. Microsoft
19. T-Mobile
18. Intel
17. FedEx
16. Nokia
15. KPMG
14. JP Morgan Chase
13. Kaiser Permanente
12. American Express
11. Ericcson-Worldwide
10. Accenture
9. Capital One
8. Costco
7. General Motors
6. Salesforce
5. Monsanto
4. Google
3. IKEA
2. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
1. Amgen Inc.
Unsurprisingly, a large number of tech companies are scattered throughout this list, but or those of us who passed up coding in high school, we’re not entirely out of luck either as a variety of other companies are taking charge of taking care of their employees. It’s definitely heartening to see huge companies such as Google, Chase, and Microsoft taking charge and setting examples for the rest of us. Of course, some of the larger companies have more resources and are therefore more able to grant time off, so hopefully for your vacation allotment, you work for a national organization instead of a local Mom and Pop. With holiday season coming up, here’s hoping that your employer gives you enough vacation days – or at least will let you work remotely for Christmas. .

I don’t know why that was in all caps but I guess it emphasizes the point
Start making extra cash from home and get paid weekly… By completing freelance jobs you get online… I do this three hour every day, for five days weekly and I earn in this way an extra 4000 bucks each week. Go this website and Click to Tech tab to stat your work..

“Thankfully for us, job-search site Glassdoor helped us out by analyzing their data to find the 25 best companies for granting employees vacation time” – No one is thankful for this.
Yeah, the big 4 offer a ton of vacation time which is awesome. They never let you take it… That’s the problem.
Or you have to work the hours before you leave…
One of the reasons I got out. Come to the other side, we have no billable hours requirements and monthly birthday celebrations.
Not just big 4, middle market too. PTO or unlimited PTO – doesn’t matter because you have to fight managers to take the week of Christmas off.
The government should be on there, specifically (for me at least), the Army. I get 30 days PTO, all federal holidays, and various DONSAs (day of no scheduled activities)
Monday or Friday DONSA’s are probably the best ideas the Army has ever come up with.
Coming soon: 25 best cities for millennials to vacation.
1. Detroit
2. Cleveland: “We’re not Detroit.”
3. Yuba City: “No one has ever heard of us”
Wheatland may be a better option
i think cleveland might be cool now?
(idk i live there…so it’s hard for me to gauge haha)
haha
good enough for lebron, but not good enough for delph
Cleveland was better than I thought it would be, but Clevelandians are so fucking annoying about their city that I refuse to give it any credit whatsoever.
haha i’m not originally from here, so i don’t really have any vested interest in it.
5. Branson “we are also not Detroit”
I’m just excited for “15 reasons why The Recruitment Chair was fired”
Was Duda also fired?
I’m curious bc I can’t rag on him anymore.
Monsanto coming in hot at number 5
Two of the big four.
da hell?
Can confirm that’s true. I work at KPMG and my buddy at Deloitte and we both get 25 PTO days a year. However, busy season could get us on average 55-60hrs/week for 4 months straight…
Side, irrelevant question: Are accounting firms, such as the big 4, allowed to sponsor for securities licenses through FINRA?
I’ve always wondered that since most of you do M&A.
Depends on what you’re doing. Most of the Big 4 have a corporate finance division, which usually is a FINRA member on its own. I personally don’t need a securities license but some audit employees might, again depending on what sector they’re in.
Don’t work for the big four, but looks like they do sponsor securities licenses. See brokercheck, your new best friend.

Don’t know on top of my head since I’m in IT Consulting, which is a completely different world. Sorry bud
Unrelated question: Did Hickey get fired or arrested for murder?
Both….probably
My friend that works at Accenture makes me hate my job every time I see him more and more. 25 vacation days after working only 3 years at the company, 75k+ salary, company paid trips every day of the week that gives him all the necessary miles to fly wherever with his 25 vacation days and the best one at least for him, just be sure you are at work before 1pm on mondays.
I’m gonna need a reference from your friend.
