We recently released our list of the 50 Best Employers In America, based on exclusive data from PayScale. The companies that made this list know the value of rewarding their employees, and they do it in some of the coolest ways possible.
From indoor climbing walls to bowling alleys, here are awesome perks from 18 companies that made our Best Employers list.

General Mills employees can work from any space they choose within the office.

All new hires at General Mills immediately receive three weeks paid vacation, and the number only goes up every year the employees are with the company. They can opt not only for life insurance, but also auto and home insurance.
General Mills respects employees' needs for flexibility and offers flexible work arrangements when it comes to start and end times or the need to telecommute. The flexibility extends toward office space as well, as the company has begun to adopt the FUSE (Flexible User Shared Environment) program, where employees can sit and work wherever they want in the corporate headquarters.
