6. I worked for them back in the early 90's

out of their home office in downtown San Francisco. At the time, they were known as Working Assets, and the products they offered were a credit card, and commercial and residential long distance services .

They donate a portion of their profits each year to progressive non-profits, from a list of organizations nominated and ranked by their customer base.

Their call center was unionized (CWA), they actively pursued the hiring and promotion of LGBT, female, and minority employees, and they treated their employees like gold. I had a child while employed there, and the company donated hundreds of dollars in cash and gifts (mostly children's clothes Hanna Andersson's, very nice!). I only stopped working for them because we had to leave the state for family reasons.

They are the very real deal -a great company of very great people.
