Year after year, Outside's Best Places to Work program demonstrates that America's most successful companies are the ones that consistently promote true work-life balance for their employees."
The Honest Kitchen places a high priority on work/life balance, with a focus on encouraging healthy living. Their San Diego office is dog friendly, which helps keep a fun office culture and promotes regular exercise breaks during the day. In-office perks include two company-owned bikes for employees’ personal use, monthly employee chair massages and reimbursement for fitness coverage such as yoga, gym fees, exercise classes or team membership fees (like kickball, marathon training).
