I just started a new job and I can get free sodas (coke, dr pepper, sprite) bottled water, coffee, all day long, and lunch is bought once a week for our department by the company, and the director takes us out on him once a week. Free health care, matched 401k, paid vacation and holidays, laptop and surface pro.

I also might get a company vehicle eventually to travel to job sites.

It doesn't seem like much, but working in IT for 10 years this is pretty sweet for me.

We also get quarterly bonuses, and this is also the first job I've gotten paid weekly. It's a huge national company and that just blew my mind.

Surrounded by negativity and people who constantly talk behind backs and think work life should be fair.

I have a credit card and can pay for lunches within reason....I usually take a couple a week.

$100 a month gas allowance even though I don't travel for work

Year end bonus

Free cell phone service and new phone every two years (for me, my wife, and son)

Free golf, dinners, fishing charters from vendors.

Next weekend I am going to Portifino Condos in P'cola Beach for free from a vendor, all included.

Browse on TD at will.

Most important to me, they don't keep track of my vacation / sick days and I am not on a set schedule. As long as my division continues to perform and my employees do what they need to do, I have quite a bit of freedom.

Next month will be 20 years for me at this company. They treat me like an owner....well, because I have treated my job like I own the place. Lots of hard work put in, but it's been well worth it.

Insurance premiums paid, the whole office shuts down the two weeks around Xmas and NYE (in addition to 4 weeks pto), all expenses paid 4 day, 3 night party at different locations each year (Cabo, Vegas, key West). I'm in NYC right now to take a client to the Yankee game. Miles and points from travel. Wife and I are headed to Hawaii in a week, and the airfare and hotel were covered with the points from work travel. The quarterly bonuses are nice typically as well. Forgot about the home Internet and cell bill paid for (up to $150/month). And one that 's sneaky good is I can charge a $25 taxi each time my wife brings me to the airport. So if I travel 30 times, that's an extra $1500 during the year, tax free.

The job is probably also going to kill me years sooner than I should die, so I guess add that as a benefit for my wife.
