I once did a quick "anthropological" study with In-N-Out employees (read: fancyspeak for sitting down and talking to them about their job), I was quite surprised.
Most of them were very happy with their jobs, not just happy with pay and benefits and so on, but happy to work there. They found it a very welcoming and friendly work environment, where people were rewarded for initiative and trying to improve things.
Most of them didn't see themselves leaving the company any time soon, unless it was for a different job type (such as moving to an office job after finishing school).
It was a very good lesson on how job satisfaction doesn't need fancy cafés, ball pits and slides.
PS: Those were just my impressions from talking to a limited number of employees. Endless numbers of caveats apply.
