When looking for a job, I find lots of ads (particularly from staffing firms) saying "Fortune 500" or "working with Fortune 500 Clients". My first thought is "big deal". It's like some $9 per hour job. Is it supposed to impress me that I'm lining the pockets of some company that's already super-wealthy while I eke by in the poverty bracket? Am I supposed to hold pride-in-affiliation more dear to me than making a substantial income? Is there a hidden benefit to working with Fortune 500 clients?

There are about 14 million businesses in the US, and only 500 are "Fortune 500." Don't worry about it.

Well they do happen to have better pay and benefits than the smaller companies,so i suppose there must be something to that I guess.
