Not to mention, they just know how to talk to people. You want to work for a company that appreciates its customers. And it’s obvious they do (see Tweets). There’s more of this appreciation all over their Facebook. Plus, who sits in the Pretzel Crisp factory thinking up these delicious recipes? Imaginative and brilliant employees.

4. Boost Juice, I am personally waiting for this smoothie dream come true to come to San Francisco. They are the, “Fruitiest Page on Facebook,” and most fun place to work. On their Facebook we get a glimpse into some of the charities their teams participate in. They also have a great time throwing themed challenges across the franchises and getting their clients involved too, such as Fireman Friday. Whoever has the best fireman costume earns free smoothies for two weeks, employees spread the excitement by dressing up too. Have the energy to party at work? Boost Juice is the place for you!

3. Gillette is clearing up the smooth versus stubble debate one Facebook post at a time. This is another company with a great sense of humor. Their employees aren’t afraid to ask strangers, “what do you prefer smooth or stubble.” Their new Kiss & Tell campaign is taking employees to all sorts of cool events. It looks like field trips to solve the debate are a company norm.
