Pack Your Bags: These 14 Major Companies Offer Unlimited Vacation

U.S. employers are notoriously stingy when it comes to paid time off. And that's bad news for employees, because taking vacation is what allows many workers to refresh, recharge, and avoid teetering on the edge of burnout. In fact, the average U.S. employee only gets 10 paid days off a year. On the other hand, some companies go to the opposite extreme by offering unlimited vacation. Here are some major players whose employees are privy to this much-desired perk, courtesy of job site Glassdoor.
