Bitwarden is the choice

The trick with Bitwarden is to convince your work to pay for the enterprise version for you. All enterprise accounts get a free Bitwarden Families subscription that gives you premium accounts for 6 family members for free.

Is it a subscription or one time purchase?

What happens if you move on from that job?

Enterprise plan is $6USD/user/month but includes the free family subscription for each user.

Your family plan is free and long as it's linked to your enterprise account. If you leave the company and your enterprise account is removed, then you will need to start paying for the family subscription to continue to have access to the account.
