Yeah, I don't qualify until after 1yr of employment, but after that they automatically (mandatory) deduct 5% and contribute 10%

15% of my salary(on top of my salary) paid directly to 401k without me contributing a dime.

Old job = all expenses paid grad school and free healthcare (everything), 6% match for 401k by company, OT if over 40 hrs even I was salaried, almost nothing to do in July and December (just showed up and got paid)

New job = 10 holidays plus 2 weeks of vacation plus 2 weeks of sick days (unlimit for accumuate) per year. All of those will get larger if you stay longer with the company. Job security. Free parking at downtown. Free to do whatever you like as long as assignments are done on time. Able to retire after 30 years with full salary and benefit.

Hmm...this is going to be tough. I'd have to say that I enjoy getting 10hrs of vacation per month and that there's no work ever to take home.

OT over 40hrs is not a perk, it's required by the FLSA as long as you are a non-exempt employee (and just because you are paid a salary doesn't mean you are exempt).

I like my job okay. I think it's a decent company. Just tired of my role. Here goes:

1. Free in-company gym (although it isn't much and I don't use it)

2. Although I'm paid hourly, they're not so anal about time as long as you do your work. I often have 90 min lunches and come in usually 15 mins late. And yes, my boss loves me.

3. $300 wellness reimbursement every year that includes MASSAGES!

4. Our company often gives out Redsox & Pats tickets and monthly company lunch as well as team lunch.

There are no perks at my workplace. I'm a "long term" contract-to-hire so I'm just lucky I have a job the next day.

 

[Ramma2]

Work for govt, so we got all those great hebewebe days during the year.

True. I guess I still remember about a job that I worked 60-70 hrs (at least) per week and no OT or comp time whatsoever. It wasn't fun, therefore I didn't stick around too long.

3. Girls who make twice as much as I do who look like models.

Meaning you have no chance right?

 

[NuclearNed]

For an hour after I get off my shift, I have a slight but definitely visible radiance. It scares the crap out of the dog.

 

[SunnyD]

For me, it will eventually be that I get clearance. Until then, I'm content with doing something I enjoy.

If you're a developer in Toronto, yeah.

 

[DrVos]

-Employee profit sharing + Quaterly bonuses
-3 weeks of vacation a year
-Company pays for 75% of my parking expenses (It avgs 100 month in our area)
-Regular chances to get tickets to see the musicals, baseball and basketball games
-Free coffee and cheap soda
-Flexible work hours

The best "perk" of all is the work environment. I enjoy working with my peers and management is accessible, considerate, and effective. My supervisor trusts me enough to let me prioritize and complete projects how I see fit.
