The bank I previously worked at for over 10 years only gave us a turkey.
ETA, because of our bonuses, almost all the employees at my branch were able to "adopt" Angels from the Angel Tree and provided Christmas gifts for local underprivileged kids. I honestly had a blast with my girls buying for ours and it felt amazing to be able to afford it this year.
+1 for the Angel Tree! The kids and I shopped for a few this year, and they loved it. It was gratifying to see them excited about being kind to other kids this season.
On topic:
The bonuses for company performance were drop dead gorgeous this year.
Nowhere else has ever given me such opportunity to be influential and have a meaningful impact.2 -
Access to drug databases & all the free package inserts I want
Free mental test of short term memory (I like to make a game out of work to pass the time/keep my whits about me by memorizing intricate details...names, #s, histories, changes, etc.)
Less stressful working environment (solo ~80% of time working, overnights) & plenty of entertaining stories from my ordinary whackos I call my regulars0 -
- A relaxation room equipped with a diffuser and choice of 8 different essential oils
- Free Skittles in the lobby! (if you don't mind them being exposed to airborne pathogens and grubby hands)
- Debbie in Human Resources wears tracksuit pants sometimes on Fridays
- Walking distance to CiCi's pizza buffet7 -

Close to home
Fun laid back atmosphere
Come and go as I please
No one to really answer to but myself2 -
- 21 vacay days per year plus the legal holidays (about 10-14 of them, depending on whether they're landing on a weekend or week day)
- Travel. Lots of travel, in Europe. Both a blessing and a curse really with the absolutely hectic schedule, but you get to see and visit cities (mostly during evenings off or nights).
- Free nice food when travelling. Really nice food. Really free. Awesome.
- Travel insurance and quite a great pension contribution
- Not really a job-specific perk but more national legislation: 1 year off fully-paid (off taxes and contributions which I pay monthly), or 2 years paid 85% of the net salary I'm making, for each child
- Work laptop is basically mine. No internet restrictions. No control. Well... I control the website and email addresses for everyone. I also invoice. Mwaha.
- Almost no management. If you're like me, it's a blessing to be able to make your own schedule and just have discussions when you need to, since everything's always deadlines all the time anyway. There is little I hate in this world more than micro-management.
- Working on something completely different every time, every project.
- Unlimited Italian espresso

I would so fail at this. I would never get anything done!
I also get to go to conventions
and usually get freebies at them.

In 2017, they changed my job from Salaried to Non-Exempt Salaried. Now I am making about 20% more working the same hours. On top of that, they paid me for all the estimated OT I had worked for the previous 2 years.
That's not all. I don't answer to anyone but the Site Manager. I approve my own vacation time and I approve my own Time Card. But even better, I only have 225 days to Retirement.2 -
After 5 years we get a 4 week vacation bonus to be used on top of our regular vacation. Only catch is that the 4 weeks be taken in succession. It’s a good way to reset. 0
