* Vision Inurance
* 3 weeks vacation (now that I hit 5 years - was 2 weeks before)
* Unlimited sick pay (I swear I took 30+ days sick, easy, one year when I was pregnant and very ill).
* 8 paid holidays (none during tax season)
* Profit Sharing (Employer contirbutes 10% of my pay to retirement evey year).
*Flex time, low hours most of the year
*Professional Dues/Licenses paid for (Around $500/year)
*Required Continuing Education paid for (Around $1500 per year)
*Paid overtime "bonuses" though I am salaried.
*I could switch to part-time if I wanted, and I did for a short period when my second son was born. But to do so I would lose holidays, vacation, professional dues, continuing education, & probably vision. For now I can't swing all that on one income - I wish. But it is nice I have PT options down the road.
No health insurance or dental, but the profit sharing pretty much makes it a wash - he contributes about what I pay for health and dental.
Stingy benefits and LOTS of hours are regular for my industry. The fact that I only have to work 50 hours during tax season and 40 hours the rest of the year is pretty unheard of. I'll take it. At face value everyone always thinks it is horrible I don't have employer-provided health insurance for my family, but the flexibility with my job, good hours, and the profit sharing & overtime blow my other options out of the water.
Reading the other posts I don't feel so screwed as usual. I guess I have it good.
