Default Re: How Good Are Your Employer's Benefits?

Health/Vision/Dental (premiums go up $10/month as of 1/1/07, but the copays aren't bad)
22 days paid time off, base of 20 increasing 1 day per year of service
401k match 2/3s of the first 6% of pay contributed (so a max of 4%)
Paid jury duty, bereavement leave, ten holidays and five half days before holidays
Tuition reimbursement
Professional certifications/exams are paid for, plus bonuses for completion
Paid continuing ed
FSA
37.5 hour work week w/ flex time option (work 75 hours in 9 days, take the 10th day off)
Basic short term and long term disability coverage paid for by the company w/ cheap additional coverage
Life insurance (2x annual wages comp, additional coverage is cheap)
Paid doctor visits (up to three visits per year)
Amazing employee assistance program -- counselors, adoption assistance, relocation services, lawyers, etc.

The pay is a bit low for the industry, but the benefits make up for it. Additionally, it's a company that pays more than just lip service to promoting from within -- I've been promoted three times since I was hired in 1/2005.

Also, I can play on the internet at lunch!

ETA: Forgot to say, we get a lot of discounts from our clients (20% off Verizon services, full copies of MS Office for $20, that sort of thing). That's a nice perk as well.
