Why we like them: Employees who want to secure their financial futures are off to a good start at Alacer. The company matches 50 percent of their 401(k) contributions, up to the maximum contribution limit of $16,500.
   
The maker of Emergen-C dietary supplements has a company motto: “Feel the Good!” And that’s exactly what the Foothill Ranch company tries to do for its employees, whether it is with free bagels every Thursday morning or the upcoming company picnic at Disneyland.
   
Alacer offers full tuition reimbursement for employees who want to advance their educations, has a no-limit 50 percent company match for 401(k) contributions, and offers flexible schedules and an employee choice holiday. Other popular perks: company-paid toll transponders and gas benefits. As a nod to employees who have to commute, if the price of gasoline rises above $3 a gallon, the company gives every employee who drives more than 10 miles to work a gas allowance of $20 per week.
   
It also matches charitable donations and supports causes of interest to many employees, including the Surfrider Foundation, the Keep A Breast Foundation, and Operation Gratitude, which supports troops overseas. “We are really making every effort to create something special,” says CEO Ron Fugate. “We’re channeling people’s passion and energy in doing good.”
