Some companies are proud of the fact they allow all or most of their workers to work remotely.
And then there are other companies that offer work at home jobs regularly, but they don't go out of their way to advertise that fact — possibly because they don't want to get overwhelmed with applications, or because they don't always have home-based jobs.
Today I made a list of companies that are almost always advertising their work at home jobs.
In the list below, I've broken the companies down by category and provided a link to their websites and also our review (if there is one posted).

Bonus Tip – Check FlexJobs For Even More Higher-Paying Remote Jobs
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely. Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage!
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week. There are also no ads on the site.
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it's cheap — you can sign up for $2.95 and get access for a few weeks to see the listings and figure out if it's for you.
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again for the following month.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
