Doing Lawful Jobs For Unlawful Businesses
May one continue doing his job with an employer whose primary business is unlawful, given the job he does is not directly linked to the unlawful?
If one is employed in lawful work (e.g. working as a security guard for an interest-based bank) or work that is not directly unlawful (e.g. working as a secretary for an interest-based bank) with an employer whose primary business is unlawful, it is permissible, though disliked, to continue with the work but superior to find work with an employer whose primary business is lawful.
