As winter storm Jonas bears down on the east coast, many workers find themselves hunkering down–and considering their career choices in more temperate climates.

To determine the happiest and unhappiest places to work, fulfillment-focused career site CareerBliss took a look at eight key factors that can influence an employee’s contentment, including work-life balance, an employee’s relationship with his or her boss and co-workers, general work environment, compensation, opportunities for advancement,  company culture, and resources.
