8 Companies That Let You Do Good and Make Bank

8 Companies That Let You Do Good and Make Bank
Check out these companies that are hiring where you can do good without sacrificing your salary.

Picture a triangle. One point says “Engaging, satisfying work,” the next point says, “Chance to make a positive impact,” and the third point says, “Great income.”

You probably know what comes next—in the middle of the triangle, it says “Pick two.”

But what if you didn’t have to choose? At these eight companies, you’ll get all three: projects and responsibilities that excite you and challenge you, ongoing opportunities to do good, and income that could give you the freedom to travel, pay off your student loans, or fulfill any other financial goals you’ve set.

These companies are all looking to grow their teams (but with perks like these, probably not for long!). So check out the list, then get crackin’ on those applications.

2. Blinds.com

When Blinds.com, the world's largest online window covering store, was acquired by The Home Depot in 2014, employees worried that becoming part of such a larger corporation would change their beloved office culture. Instead, they were thrilled to find that being part of the Fortune 35 company has allowed them to scale up their resources and enjoy even greater benefits—including extra-competitive salaries—while still keeping their original fun culture fully intact.

With the help of these new resources, the company has made sure to give back, too. The team recently used its home improvement expertise in partnership with Rebuilding Houston to refurbish a veteran’s home.

3. Broadridge

At Broadridge, an investor communications and technology-driven solutions provider for broker-dealers, banks, mutual funds and corporate issuers, philanthropy is part of the culture.

Almost every single one of its offices around the globe has reached out to the community; for example, the employees in New York mentor young students, the employees in New Jersey work with Habitat for Humanity, and the employees in London help disabled children and adults.

Broadridge also matches its employees contributions—so every time you donate a bit of your sizeable salary, the company donates, too.

6. Bloomberg

If you love volunteering and getting involved in local causes, you’ll fit right in at Bloomberg. Last year, the employees of this financial media and software company volunteered a cumulative 86,845 hours—which included building 28 Habitat for Humanity projects, repainting and revitalizing 17 schools and community centers, and raising $488,672 for disaster relief (and those are just the highlights).

But Bloomberg doesn’t just take care of the community; the company takes good care of its employees, too. It ensures every employee feels appreciated—from making sure they have competitive salaries to offering perks like a stocked pantry and a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere—and offers exciting projects, to boot.

“The underlying current that stands out in the culture is my ability to actually make substantive impact—real, tangible, tactile impact,” says Jeff Fairbanks, Global Head of AV and Media Technology for Technical Operations.
