perks

so. while we're on the subject of jobs and stuff, do you get any perks from your job? y'know, like freebies or discounts or whatever. for example, i work�for a hotel reservations agency and i just got free hotel accommodation in glasgow for next week. (go me! hee.) so. fire away. :)

Uhhh...cheaper-than-many-but-still-expensive insurance? (I work for an insurance company.)

along the same lines, i get very decent benefits (i work at a benefits outsourcing/consulting/delivery/thingy place). oh, and free food. yum.

when i worked at the coffeehouse, i got free meals and drinks, which rocked the casbah. and when i worked at waldenbooks, i got a discount, which was the only way i was able to afford any christmas presents for people that year.

Cost on cds, free playcopies, the odd musician instore where I get to hang out with people cooler than me - it's got a few. :)

Owning my own business and working from home is chock full o' perks! A 5 second commute, pajamas for half the day, guitar breaks, cat cuddles, lack of bosses droning about TPS reports.. I could go on. :)

Not that it's all easy, but I hope I never have to rejoin the "real world"..

Mostly along on the benefits side...I don't pay any premiums for health insurance, 15 vacation days, 5 personal days, and 15 sick days, 403 (b) plan that becomes fully vested after 3 years, very flexible comp-time policy, and transportation benefit.� Some perks�are free use of the fitness center and pool downstairs, which I have yet to take advantage, and various discounts at neighborhood restaurants and stores.

When I worked at the community center, I could take classes and use the fitness center for free.

Now, I guess the biggest perk is that I get� free NJ Jets parephenalia.� I guess if I liked football it'd be much more exciting.

the only perks i get are the rights to be called at any time of the day or night 24/7 and to have my rates (consultant) cut 3 times in 18 months.

10% off storewide at Target (excluding perishables at the Supers), 20 % off storewide at Marshall Field's.� There's a few restrictions on their use, but it's generally useful.� If nothing else, it takes care of the sales tax.

The benefits package is nice, but the perks... nah.

I get ten free video or dvd rentals a week, and no time to watch them.

No perks for me. I work for the gubamint. Well, wait, I do have perks. To compensate for the generally lower salaries, we get more flexible scheduling than most people in industry get.
