While the freedom of being your own boss is amazing, it can also be uncertain. Will you have enough clients and work to pay your bills next month? If you play your cards right, you will, but things happen, so you can also run into some rougher times.
Some thrive working like this, always looking for a challenge. Others want a bit more stability and prefer to work for someone else, and that’s totally fine!
Or maybe you’d miss the benefits that come with a steady job, like health insurance or paid time off.
The good news is, that you can still work from home AND have those amazing benefits, if you just find the right company.
There are more and more companies that are either completely remote or have both remote and in-office employees. And the best thing? These companies also offer amazing benefits like paid time off, unlimited vacation days, paid company retreats, and insurance.
We’ve found 30 companies that are either hiring now or have regular openings (so check back every now and then!) for remote employees WITH benefits. Get your remote resume ready and dive in!

Is Your Remote Resume Ready for these Remote Companies?

There are also plenty of other perks, including health insurance, equipment budgets, and in some cases work out or mental health budgets. And if you thought you would get lonely or disconnected from your colleagues, most of these companies are very proud of their company retreats.
And these are just the ones we know of. There are a lot of companies that hire remote these days, and a lot of them offer at least some kind of benefits.
So if you always wanted to work online, but you want to stay an employee, you have some ideas on where to start looking now! Some of these companies have an alternative application process, others ask for your resume.
