Being savvy with money is second nature for moms who work at this investment banking, securities and investment management firm. They relish its complimentary consultations with financial experts, tuition reimbursements (up to eight credits per semester) and the higher-education scholarships (worth up to $22,500) available to their kids. At several sites, they also enjoy corporate medical clinics and fitness centers, and the health insurance plans offered by the firm may reimburse them for up to $200 in gym fees if they work out 50 times in six months. If they need private counseling, up to five free sessions are provided annually through the employee assistance program. Moms can bond in the firm’s Working Parents Forum and in a mentoring program for first-time mothers.
