>I'd take a pay cut to work at a place like that. Enjoying your work, feeling like you will be taken care of, and being able to grow and develop are huge "benefits" that aren't easy to find in many jobs. So would I, but I've noticed that the only really reliable marker of how well you'll be treated is salary (compared to market average). So it really only makes sense to chase the money. It's almost always the employers that offer you concrete benefits, contractually enforced promises and cash that will end up taking care of you and treating you with respect anyway. The companies that tout vague platitudes (good working environment, friendly coworkers, good work/life balance, no bullshit) above concrete benefits (pay, hours, holiday, free lunches) are usually the shittiest employers in that market.
