We have a very good tuition reimbursement program, and we get matching contributions to our savings plan (50 cents for each dollar).  We also have free coffee, tea and cocoa, and free parking.  Some other outside benefits are discounts we can receive - 2 auto manufacturers offer discounts as employees of their suppliers, employee purchase plan from Dell Computers, CompUSA, Sam's Club, numerous health clubs, even a couple of local restaurants give a 10% discount if you show your badge, and we can use the company discount from the travel agency.



This year we received an added benefit - money deposited into our savings plan accounts (deposited as shares) for all who were active employees for the entire fiscal year - the company decided to share with its employees the outstanding profit earned in fiscal 2000!  Too bad we won't get it every year.



These are all perks that everyone receives - but I get a few "extras" from my boss because we have a great working relationship (translation - I spoil him rotten and he returns the favor   ).
