What's your favorite work perk?

[Beev]

Jeans and tshirts everyday is nice, but I think our foosball table is my favorite perk.

 

[meltdown75]

being able to book a company car or make a rental and go do field work. nothing is more satisfying some mornings than coming in, packing up and getting the hell out of here.

 

[XxPrOdiGyxX]

flex scheduling, telecommuting when I need or want to, and pension benefits (i know i can't count on this 100% but still nice)

 

[hiromizu]

Sushi chefs twice a week, ultra cheap healthy breakfasts ($2), free shoe shining, free Starbucks coffee and tea to name a few.

Same here.......telling people I'm a PC/Networking Engineer just because it sounds better than Technician. That and two breakrooms stocked with food and drinks.

1. Ability to reply to stuff like this at work.
2. Bonus
3. Girls who make twice as much as I do who look like models.

 

[jandrews]

not too many, good vacation time, work from home at times but the perk i really want is casual dress and I will never get that here, I hate work clothing.

 

[Riverhound777]

Free drinks, snacks
Free lunch once or twice a week.
Massage on fridays (they started it during tax season and kept doing it, but I do IT work)
Of course I don't get the lunch or massage since I get off work at 11:30am (start at 5:30am). But I guess that is ok too

 

[Randum]

10-6, train commute over driving rocks, and work from home fridays.

 

[LS21]

extended international travel

 

[ultimatebob]

The ability to work from home, and "unlimited" sick days.

Where in the hell do you work?

 

[lokiju]

Respect and trust.

This is the first place I've worked at in some time where I'm treated like a family member and fully trusted in my work and I give no reasons to do otherwise here or in previous jobs.

I also like that we close down from before Christmas until after New Years.

Plus I just got a new laptop (Dell D630) and a Black Berry 8830.

Flexibility and understanding from my manager is awesome also, like when my wife went in for a planned surgery and while in there they discovered her appendix was about to burst and had to remove it on the spot, my work was cool as hell about missing a bunch of time so I could take care of her while she was recovering.

 

[Engraver]

No dress code other than to wear decent clothes (t-shirts, jeans, etc, no shorts though). I usually leave 1-2 hours early if I don't have any work and still get paid for it. I can get cheap/free signs, banners, etc for friends and family if I make them myself.

Clicky for picture of the latest freebie, a 3' x 8' banner. It is just the artwork, I forgot to take a picture of the banner itself. It came out pretty nice on semi-gloss banner material.

 

[Robert Munch]

having fridays off through sunday every week, working 4/10's

 

[Ns1]

Man, Google.

yeah, right. KPMG???? They have the benefits...but you pretty much have to sell your soul to the company just to get in.

 

[Gooberlx2]

[KeithTalent]

Share purchase plan and free coffee.

[Zenmervolt]

I joke that it's the free pop, but the biggest thing is the free parking. It's absolutely ridiculous that any company would ever make employees pay to park at work.
