We continue discovering companies where dogs are welcome. And we continue in the United States, a dog-loving country par excellence, where canines have a very important presence in society… and in its companies.
Glassdoor
This employment portal is one of the strongest and most consulted platforms in the United States. It not only helps people find new jobs, but also helps them do so with confidence. On Glassdoor, you can find a ranking of the best companies to work for, as well as genuine employee reviews, information about salaries, benefits… And even questions asked of candidates during recruitment processes.
At Glassdoor, work and the workplace are taken very seriously. Starting with their own. That's why it is itself a place where people want to work and where, of course, pets have a privileged place. As they acknowledge, pets are not only adorable coworkers, but they also facilitate breaks (both physical and mental); their presence makes it easier to balance work and personal life and, in addition, they promote a dynamic office environment.
Ben & Jerry’s
They don't just make irresistible, delicious ice cream for every taste, known worldwide. At Ben & Jerr’ys, they also have strong values: fair trade, peacebuilding, marriage equality, and climate justice). As a result, their company policy allows pets in the workplace. And that makes them even sweeter!
The dogs that frequent the Vermont office have a special space on their website, where information about the furry friends is provided and they are given mock interviews so employees, customers, and curious visitors can get to know them better.
The Daily Show
This American satirical late-night show airs Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. The program describes itself as a fake news show and satirizes recent news, political figures, organizations, and the program itself.
What is not fake news is that at The Daily Show, all employees can bring their ARISTODogs to the studio, as its current host, Trevor Noah, explains.
Likewise, in this video you can see what the set and the studio behind the scenes are like… when the dogs roam freely. An unusual and truly inspiring case, since pet-friendly companies are not common in the television industry.
Zynga
This is a company that develops online social video games, founded in 2007 and based in San Francisco. Its name may not sound familiar, but what if we told you they created the legendary game «Farmville»?
Dogs have always been part of this company, so much so that its name comes from the founder's dog and its logo includes a silhouette of the same dog. Zynga offers not only employee benefits, but also direct benefits for its dogs, such as health insurance, a rooftop dog park, and various treats. What's more, some of the office dogs have their alter ego in Farmville. An example to follow, without a doubt!
