No matter how dedicated we are to our jobs and our company’s mission, at the end of the day our salaries are inarguably an important factor when it comes to where we choose to work and how happy we are there. The promise of a more substantial paycheck elsewhere is always a threat to retention numbers.
That’s not something these companies generally need to worry about, as they were rated among the Best Paying Companies in Illinois by their own employees on Comparably. The fact that these employees are so satisfied with their salaries means their employers can count on their dedication in the future.
The list that follows is a live leaderboard of the top companies in the area based on current employees’ ratings and reviews. Companies are ranked based on their all time ratings and the ranking can change as employees leave new ratings and reviews.
