Unusual Perks

[doodlebug 3]

Me and my daughters get free college tuition. By the time they get there it'll probably be around $60k/year so that adds up to about $480k just for them. My husband gets 50% off of tuition. Also after year 5 they match me 100% for the 401 K or whatever it is called here. (maybe it's the 403 B). Also free long term disability after year two.

Oh and we get Bertuccis at every staff meeting and only work 35 hours/week which can be flex hours if you'd like.

I used to work for the National Cattlemen's Association and they gave out free Omaha steaks at Christmas time. Would have gone great with the free beer

Saw an interesting thing on Google. On their main complex it contains modern gyms to work out, Free food, and not just crappy unhealthy food, but of great quality and good for you, and for the mostt part flexibale hours. I belive it was rated one of the best, if not the best place to work for 2006

Google was indeed rated the place to work. I saw a piece on them on TV as well. Damn!

Though I shouldn't really complain. Taking the whole package into account, my employer ain't all that bad. Much better than the last one though nowhere near the days at Deutsche Bank.
