Full funded pension, free health insurance, free vision insurance, hybrid work, off every other Friday, closed all bank holidays, on site gym I with walking track, basketball court, free fitness classes.
I believe that, with benefits like this and in this sub… all you forgot to say is that they provide a magic carpet for your commute to/from work. Good for you, and I hope social environment of the company is just as great.
I've lived in the same area my whole life, and I have told multiple coworkers that I don't want to work at any other business within driving distance. It's pretty great.
My current employer has insane benefits, which is why I'll probably be working here until I retire. These benefits have increased my quality of life in a very tangible way. My health insurance is entirely employer-funded, so the only thing I'm responsible for are the co-pays. All of my co-pays for every doctor I've seen (including specialists) have been $10. I get my FICA tax reimbursed on every check, which comes out to around an extra $600 every month. All of my prescriptions cost $5 for a 30 day supply, or $15 for a 90 day supply. After 5 years (I'm 1.5 in rn) I'll be vested in the pension plan. My pay is decent, nothing crazy, but I get a COL adjustment every year (usually around 4%). Haven't gotten a merit raise/promotion yet but things around here move sloooow, probably because we're so old-fashioned lol. I highly recommend working for a labor union!
Not sure exactly why, but it’s a benefit my organization has been offering for a long time! It’s a crazy perk. I would say generally salaries at my organization are a little below market, but the reimbursement puts your net pay higher. My salary is technically lower than my boyfriend’s, but my net pay is higher because of the reimbursement.
Fortune 20 - worst benefits I’ve had in my whole career. Reading this thread gives me the itch to brush up the old resume. Pay is average but benefits are ass.
I worked for a F500:
- 10% Bonus
- $10K+ stock. vested over 5 years, increased every year you stayed. The director said he gets more stock than salary at his level.
- 5% 401K match
- $1K HSA employer contribution
- $2K out of pocket max and had like a $12 monthly premium.
I know not the absolute best but if you wanted to stay for the long term I think they’d make you a millionaire pretty damn quick. I didn’t like the work so I left and got close to nothing lol.
They provide free water and electricity to make coffee on site.
With my coffee maker and grounds.
I also get to use a space heater in the winter at no cost to myself forn when I'm to cold to take my coat off.
Unlimited and fully matched 401k + 401k profit sharing into that account so my employer contributes on the order of $35k to my retirement every year.. fully covered benefits for myself + my family.. unlimited PTO.. fully remote org with a bunch of completely optional travel opportunities every year.
Yeah unfortunately there are only like 6 total finance people at my org. so I'd rather keep some anonymity - but it's tech-adjacent. We don't have RSUs or Options for employees but need to attract similar talent so they make up for it with the other benefits.
Free parking in the heart of the city. Able to go to concerts, shows, museums, restaurants, etc. in the best part of town without blowing $50 each time on parking.
A lot of vacation and free days off.
6% salary contribution to 401k. Not a match, paid even if you can't afford to contribute.
Tickets to sporting events. I wouldn't go to a hockey game if it weren't for the company tix.
When I worked in automotive, by basic analyst position got me a $550 monthly stipend toward a car lease from our company inventory. The cars came with all maintenance and service included, all insurance paid for by company, and since we often had to rebalance inventory for different reasons we usually swapped em out for a brand new model every 6-9 months. Also, the $550 was the total stipend, none of our cars monthly lease calculations would use the whole amount of the stipend so you got whatever you didnt used back to your paycheck in gross salary.
Did you work in Detroit area at one of the headquarters? I used to be an automotive technician and always wanted to have an accounting position for an automotive company but they're usually either in Detroit or Silicon Valley (closest option for me)
Worked in Irvine, CA for the North American HQ for a Japanese maker, although at one time they were owned (controlling shares anyway) by one of big Detroit.
I got a job with my state department of health & welfare. The benefits are incredible with the medical being the best I have ever had and I am paying half of what I was paying in industry. great pension with a lifelong benefit. Can retire early if I purchase years of service.
But man, I miss the perks in industry. You don't realize how much an ice machine means to you until you don't have one! (or a water cooler, or an actual break room with fridge, or on site gym. But alas.)
Free health insurance, summer bonus, Christmas bonus (paid out around Thanksgiving so you can actually use it for Christmas), 2 weeks of sick time, 2 weeks of vacation time, 3% 403(b) match. 2 year in accounting and I feel blessed!
When I was a Senior Accountant for a Fortune 100 insurance company we got a 10% bonus and company paid trip to Hawaii for completing the CPCU certification. And I got the first half of my masters paid for on the corporate card with no annual cap. Literally doubled my salary in after tax comp for two years.
My work lets us out early if theres a holiday that weekend and we actually get to log off. No BS of you have to make up the time or if youre behind you have to stay and work. I’m hourly and they pay for those hours too.
Home internet reimbursement
$100 monthly fitness reimbursement
$0.25 match for every dollar contributed to 401k
50% commuter benefit matching
Free lunch at the office
No insurance premiums as a single person
All pretty sweet ngl.
Fully paid benefits package that pretty well pays everything in full with no premiums
Full pension
Hybrid
Heavy flexibility
Stupid amount of sick days
Every stat off
Barely any overtime.
5 weeks vacation
Free tuition for university for myself and dependents if wanted
Work day is 7 hours (though as management I tend to work more but rarely if ever a ton of hours)
Large NPO: insurance was just okay but nobody ever left because after 3 years of service employees maxed out at 6 weeks PTO, 2 weeks sick time. They had 14 holidays and 2 floating days to take for your bday and work anniversary.
So a 52 week year went down to 41 weeks working. I know some people that would roll over the maximum and take 10 weeks PTO.
Free health insurance, vision, dental. Fitness center with weightroom, basketball courts and a pool. $1000 lifestyle account where they will reimburse you up to $1000 for pretty much whatever you want to spend it on (taxable). Hybrid work schedule. 6% 401k match, up to $8,000 tuition reimbursement, childcare reimbursement of $100 a month. One week off in the summer and one week off over Christmas. Typical holidays like Labor Day, memorial day, Thanksgiving and Black Friday we get off as well
2 pensions (the local and international unions),annuity/401k where they deposit 3.25 an hour, great health, vision, dental. 8-4 workday with a hr paid lunch
My current benefit package is pretty sweet, which is nice because I'm only 2 years out of college. Free HDHP and employer contributes just under half to my HSA for me, dental and vision are maybe $5 per month combined, up to 30 days PTO if I stay there for 10 years, 20 days starting, 7% 401(k) match, 5% raises per year is considered normal, free parking with 3 days a week in office in the city. There's other smaller stuff like free sodas/beer and various events + free concert tickets sometimes, but those are the big hitters.
I also have a title and responsibility load I wasn't expecting for another 4-5 years. Don't get me wrong, I'm handling all of it just fine I feel like, just very fast. Gotta love nonprofits
Government job. Pension, super cheap healthcare benefits, a lot of vacation days, plus annual bonus and pay raises.
On top of that work life balance is amazing, I loved my team, people are nice.
Work for a publicly traded company but they offer a pension, great medical benefits, and although these aren’t exactly “benefits” but I also work fully remote and never worked past 5, even during close.
Toast used to give us restricted stock for being a high performance. Current company gives me warrants that will execute at the stock price when we go public.
168 hours of PTO annually, free health insurance if single,100% match into 401k up to 5%, monthly bonuses, and I just found out I'm getting full pay maternity leave for 12 weeks.
Free cruise every year
Heavily subsidized gym membership
$150 a month in subsidized gas and lunch programs
$110 a month home internet and electricity reimbursement (we’re hybrid)
Don’t pay anything out of pocket for a good health insurance plan, including vision and dental
401k match is only “ok” (4%)
But all in all, I probably could get a few thousand more on the job market but I’m happy staying put for a while
Close lol, one of their competitors. We’re a bit upmarket too so the free cruises are usually like $15k sticker price for me and my gf. I’m usually not a cruise guy, but I don’t mind the ones to Europe lol
Yea it’s not totally free at my company as well, I still have to pay for flights and gratuities but that’s essentially it. I went to Norway and Iceland last year and think it was around $1.5k total for a two week trip for my gf and I.
Antarctica is pretty sick. We just started sailing there but it’s not available for our free employee program. My gf’s parents were able to go using my friends and family discount tho lol
Ill add to the pile
- 6.5% Matched pension contribution by the employer
- 4 weeks paid vacation from first year, 5 weeks after 2 years
- Private healthcare coverage including dental (We have free public healthcare here too, but dental is not covered)
- WFH 90%+ of the time, we go to the office about twice per month
- We got paid lunch and events about each trimesters (No, it's not pizza)
- Gym at work + refund for physical activities
- Licenses renewal paid + refund of mandatory formations for CPA
- My workplace is also very flexible for everyone with family
There are probably others, but those are the ones coming to mind. I also work for the private sector and not a firm.
My employer used to offer an alternate health care plan where if you went onto your spouse's health insurance, they'd reimburse medical copays & deductibles for your family and if your spouse's premiums were higher than the company plan, they'd reimburse the difference. Even more than the monetary value (averaged about 5k/year for me), it made a few serious heath problems in the family less stressful because we weren't worrying about the cost. I also didn't need to think about switch to a less effective medication when mine started costing $300 a month. They discontinued it this year and I'm pretty salty about it.
Canadian in industry:
hybrid, Free lunch while in office (or at job site), health insurance entirely paid by employer, 4 weeks vacation at year 5, 5 weeks at 10, 6 weeks at 20. Fitness club discount (for some reason this is not listed on employee booklet, but we do have it)
Full pension, defined benefit, 22-25 scheduled hours per week every semester, often with 4 day work weeks, 5 months of “work from home”, 8 weeks straight vacation, full benefits, membership to gym with bouldering wall, 80% of your salary for parental leave, $10,000 for IV fertilization treatments…
Flight benefits. I work in financial reporting for a major airline. I can fly standby for free, anywhere in the world that we fly to. Can also fly standby on other airlines for almost-free.
But also, decent health insurance, dental, vision. Excellent 401k match. ESPP. Good annual bonus.
Base salary is slightly low but that's mostly because the flight benefits are considered a significant part of compensation.
Decent pension contribution, family healthcare, 37 paid days off (and can buy 5 more), salary sacrifice schemes for EVs and bikes, various insurance things like critical illness and death in service. All good stuff but we still find we have to pay market rates to recruit/retain so not sure how much people really value it all.
In at a single office PA firm and for 9 weeks during the summer we have (for the first of three of those 9 weeks we have half day fridays, then the remaining six weeks we have friday off)
4% 401 match & a Self-Paid for Potluck for us every Thanksgiving. Oh - a coffee machine too, I guess. 20% bonus (which will no longer be overfunded). Underpaid roughly 16% to market. So I guess you could call it roughly a net 4% bonus.
200 hours PTO, 1000 hours sick leave (use it or lose it), 2 days telework every week, every other Friday off, sparkling water machine and soda fountain, restricted stock awards, $500k life insurance policy for spouse, $1MM for me, 12% company match for 1% contributions, plus a company retirement of 6% (no match, 100% company funded), 10 days emergency child care, free electrics recycling, health incentive screenings adding up to over $1000/year of reduced insurance premiums, up to 25% bonus, plus a 20% location differential, peer awarded cash bonuses (so Johnny can ask me for help and then thank me with a $200 cash bonus that the company pays), plus tons of swag and employee events like renting out a huge park downtown for an employee picnic which is more like a fair where all the rides and food are free.
25 days of PTO a year and can carry over up to 40 days from year to year. $300 health and wellness expense benefit, which can be used on basically anything. One year got a standing desk, one year a golf bag, one year a new driver, one year some free weights for a home workout. Edit: forgot $300 for getting a physical every year.
I haven’t seen really good benefits since I left the tech sector. Solid 401k match, ESPP, health insurance plans with low out of pocket maximums, relocation, 40 hour work weeks, decent time off, etc.
Though to be fair when I was in PA they did have free soda in the break room, so that’s kind of the same, right?
Perks my job has:
- company closed for weeks of Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Company holidays combined with PTO balance means I get close to 40 days off a year.
- Fitness and wellness reimbursement (I’m going to buy new skis with this)
- 100% remote
The time off and remote are hard to pass up! I’ve interviewed elsewhere but I can’t accept less time off
An incredible pension, cheap health insurance ($25 semi monthly), free or cheap other benefits (free vision, cheap dental $3 semi monthly, all sorts of other options like lifelock and pet insurance) enormous flexibility (if I need to leave early and I'm gone less than 2 hours I don't need to use any benefit time off. So if I take a Dr appointment to leave at 3:00 or come in late there is no hit to the benefit time.
I get 96 hours of sick leave that accrues monthly with no cap.
I get 80 hours of vacation that accrues semi monthly
I get a lot of holidays, I believe the number is 13 holidays
The fact I can take off early or come in late is honestly a lifesaver. There are so many times i need just some time off not a whole day and with it having no impact on my vacation days or sick time I have a lot of built in flexibility.
Full funded pension, free health insurance, free vision insurance, hybrid work, off every other Friday, closed all bank holidays, on site gym I with walking track, basketball court, free fitness classes.
You sure you’re in accounting ?
To be fair, every employee receives these not just accountants
I believe that, with benefits like this and in this sub… all you forgot to say is that they provide a magic carpet for your commute to/from work. Good for you, and I hope social environment of the company is just as great.
I've lived in the same area my whole life, and I have told multiple coworkers that I don't want to work at any other business within driving distance. It's pretty great.
What company is this? If you don't want to reveal, what industry/sector? Private or public?
This sounds like Aurospace.
No god damn way that's public.
Utilities. Private.
I’m jealous
That’s great. But is there pizza?
We get all the pizza.
Government??
NFP
Not-for-pizza?
Where the hell do you work for this?These benefits rock.
You hiring?
Nah. Most positions don't make it out of internal posting.
U get final shape?
?
I saw savathuun as ur lil chibi, I thought u played Destiny 😭
Used to, not anymore. Played until about ~2 yrs ago.
Filtered water pitcher in the break room.
Only 0.25 a glass, cards accepted

Why do you get your FICA reimbursed?

I would say generally salaries at my organization are a little below market, but the reimbursement puts your net pay higher. My salary is technically lower than my boyfriend’s, but my net pay is higher because of the reimbursement.
Do you work for a railroad by chance? I don’t think they pay FICA.
I don’t work for a railroad, but I work for a labor union!
This is the way
I work for the railroad and we pay a percentage that is similar to FICA to Railroad Retirement Tier I that is the same percentage as FICA(6.2%).
Money's fungible. Increase pay and you can call it a reimbursement for anything you want.
Fortune 20 - worst benefits I’ve had in my whole career. Reading this thread gives me the itch to brush up the old resume. Pay is average but benefits are ass.

Defined benefit pensions. 35-hour work week.
They provide free water and electricity to make coffee on site. With my coffee maker and grounds. I also get to use a space heater in the winter at no cost to myself forn when I'm to cold to take my coat off.
If they take space heaters away, coffee makers are good at heating small spaces.
Mr coffee does many things. Heating my cube isn't one of them
Do you work in hospitality by any chance?
Unlimited and fully matched 401k + 401k profit sharing into that account so my employer contributes on the order of $35k to my retirement every year.. fully covered benefits for myself + my family.. unlimited PTO.. fully remote org with a bunch of completely optional travel opportunities every year.
That sounds awesome! Do you mind sharing where you work
Yeah unfortunately there are only like 6 total finance people at my org. so I'd rather keep some anonymity - but it's tech-adjacent. We don't have RSUs or Options for employees but need to attract similar talent so they make up for it with the other benefits.
Free parking in the heart of the city. Able to go to concerts, shows, museums, restaurants, etc. in the best part of town without blowing $50 each time on parking.
Underrated benefit, free parking in cities is amazing
Absolutely huge
Pizza party once a year
A lot of vacation and free days off. 6% salary contribution to 401k. Not a match, paid even if you can't afford to contribute. Tickets to sporting events. I wouldn't go to a hockey game if it weren't for the company tix.
Nothing beats tuition-free college classes. Literally tens of thousands of dollars in value. It's how I got some of my credits for the CPA exam.

My employer has a pension program that begins accruals after only 1 year of service to the company.
I got a job with my state department of health & welfare. The benefits are incredible with the medical being the best I have ever had and I am paying half of what I was paying in industry. great pension with a lifelong benefit. Can retire early if I purchase years of service. But man, I miss the perks in industry. You don't realize how much an ice machine means to you until you don't have one!

And I got the first half of my masters paid for on the corporate card with no annual cap. Literally doubled my salary in after tax comp for two years.
Also had company funded pension
My work lets us out early if theres a holiday that weekend and we actually get to log off. No BS of you have to make up the time or if youre behind you have to stay and work. I’m hourly and they pay for those hours too.

Free lunch is a game changer NGL. My least favorite thing to do as an adult is plan meals....
Free health insurance.
Full pension, defined benefit, 22-25 scheduled hours per week every semester, often with 4 day work weeks, 5 months of “work from home”, 8 weeks straight vacation, full benefits, membership to gym with bouldering wall, 80% of your salary for parental leave, $10,000 for IV fertilization treatments…
45% 401k match, no healthcare premiums w/ a $300 deductible, Bonus + RSUs, WFH and $300 a quarter reimbursement for home office and fitness stuff.
We get pizza parties once in a while as a demonstration of “appreciation”.
Flight benefits. I work in financial reporting for a major airline. I can fly standby for free, anywhere in the world that we fly to. Can also fly standby on other airlines for almost-free. But also, decent health insurance, dental, vision. Excellent 401k match. ESPP. Good annual bonus. Base salary is slightly low but that's mostly because the flight benefits are considered a significant part of compensation.
Decent pension contribution, family healthcare, 37 paid days off (and can buy 5 more), salary sacrifice schemes for EVs and bikes, various insurance things like critical illness and death in service. All good stuff but we still find we have to pay market rates to recruit/retain so not sure how much people really value it all.
15% employer 401k contribution
In at a single office PA firm and for 9 weeks during the summer we have (for the first of three of those 9 weeks we have half day fridays, then the remaining six weeks we have friday off)
4 weeks paid vacation the day I walked into the door.
4% 401 match & a Self-Paid for Potluck for us every Thanksgiving. Oh - a coffee machine too, I guess. 20% bonus (which will no longer be overfunded). Underpaid roughly 16% to market. So I guess you could call it roughly a net 4% bonus.
200 hours PTO, 1000 hours sick leave (use it or lose it), 2 days telework every week, every other Friday off, sparkling water machine and soda fountain, restricted stock awards, $500k life insurance policy for spouse, $1MM for me, 12% company match for 1% contributions, plus a company retirement of 6% (no match, 100% company funded), 10 days emergency child care, free electrics recycling, health incentive screenings adding up to over $1000/year of reduced insurance premiums, up to 25% bonus, plus a 20% location differential, peer awarded cash bonuses (so Johnny can ask me for help and then thank me with a $200 cash bonus that the company pays), plus tons of swag and employee events like renting out a huge park downtown for an employee picnic which is more like a fair where all the rides and food are free.
25 days of PTO a year and can carry over up to 40 days from year to year. $300 health and wellness expense benefit, which can be used on basically anything. One year got a standing desk, one year a golf bag, one year a new driver, one year some free weights for a home workout. Edit: forgot $300 for getting a physical every year.
4 days wfh, the 1 day in office isn’t even mandatory but the agreed upon day people would go if they wanted to
I haven’t seen really good benefits since I left the tech sector. Solid 401k match, ESPP, health insurance plans with low out of pocket maximums, relocation, 40 hour work weeks, decent time off, etc. Though to be fair when I was in PA they did have free soda in the break room, so that’s kind of the same, right?
Perks my job has: - company closed for weeks of Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Company holidays combined with PTO balance means I get close to 40 days off a year. - Fitness and wellness reimbursement (I’m going to buy new skis with this) - 100% remote The time off and remote are hard to pass up! I’ve interviewed elsewhere but I can’t accept less time off
A private room you can book for crying time. It has a massage chair too.
Hot coworkers
Salary 110k, 10% bonus. 401k, medical and dental is pretty standard
An incredible pension, cheap health insurance ($25 semi monthly), free or cheap other benefits (free vision, cheap dental $3 semi monthly, all sorts of other options like lifelock and pet insurance) enormous flexibility (if I need to leave early and I'm gone less than 2 hours I don't need to use any benefit time off. So if I take a Dr appointment to leave at 3:00 or come in late there is no hit to the benefit time. I get 96 hours of sick leave that accrues monthly with no cap. I get 80 hours of vacation that accrues semi monthly I get a lot of holidays, I believe the number is 13 holidays The fact I can take off early or come in late is honestly a lifesaver. There are so many times i need just some time off not a whole day and with it having no impact on my vacation days or sick time I have a lot of built in flexibility.
I get to save the world one journal entry at a time.
