It is a popular myth that these days there are no large corporations that take good care of their employees. To listen to the talking heads on media outlets one might get the impression that working conditions have reverted back to the early days of the industrial revolution. Visions of taskmasters yelling at workers to increase output while cutting benefits run through the minds of popular
. imagination. Workers with dirty faces and bleeding hands outstretched begging for one more penny from the slovenly boss is a caricature of the modern manufacturing plant that has taken hold since the economic downturn in 2008. Quite to the contrary not all companies over work their employees and fail to properly compensate them. In fact there is one company that always seems to stand out above the crowd. One company that really knows how to reward workers for doing a good; a company that makes a lot of money and lets its employees share in that wealth. This company is General Electric and it is a company that any productive worker could be proud to be a part of.General Electric, also known as GE, is a company that is known for being a very good employer. GE has that good reputation partly because of the GE employee benefits which are fast becoming a high bar setting the standard for other companies to look up at. The benefits that GE offers cover a wide variety of areas including the basics such as medical, dental, life, and other insurances. GE benefits also include a tax-free Savings and Security Plan that matches 50% of an employee's 7% or 8%. In addition GE has a great pension plan, something that is hard to come by these days.
