Dawn’s Answer

Although there are certainly 'benefits' such as loving your job, the location and the like it feels like you're referring more to the standard definitions of benefits. That being said, benefits is still a really broad term. There is the standard health benefit that often includes dental and vision, for example. There's the time off, holidays, potential opportunity for bonuses, etc. There are the 'perks' or discounts that some employers offer (i.e. if you're working in retail you might get a discount at that store; at a bigger company like AT&T, you get discounts on products & services that we have in addition to other 'perks'. Bigger companies likely have the ability to offer a greater suite of options. If you're looking for something smaller - more family like - you may not have as robust in terms of offerings, but you may have other non-benefit related plusses that are appealing. As others have said, doing the research, understanding where you want to be, the type of culture and environment all plays into the decision of where to work and what benefits you may receive.

Wyn’s Answer

Jobs that have the most benefits depend upon what "benefits" means to you. Is it what many people think of, such as paid time off, vacation, sick days, retirement plans, etc> Or is "benefits" something more like the chance to use your best skills, or a work environment you really like, or a short commute to work, or something else?

If you are looking for things like pay rate, paid time off, vacation, etc., generally larger companies and government organizations have the best benefits.

If you are thinking more about the type of work, your skills, etc., that will require doing some talking to people who have those jobs, reading and/or research for your best career choice.

Wyn recommends the following next steps:

If you want regular company benefits, make a list of larger companies and government organizations where you will be located/looking for your next job, and review their job postings to determine which ones have jobs that fit your skills and experience. You can then apply to them.
If you are looking for the type of work, work environment, etc., you will need to make a list of those companies that interest you. You can then do some "information interviews" with people who you know who work there. You can also ask your friends and others who they know who work there, and follow up with them for information interviews. Once you have conducted your interviews, you can ask those who work at these companies to recommend you for open positions there in your field.

Kaylee’s Answer

Not a lot, in fact most companies have a 90 day, full time rule before benefits kick in. HOWEVER, with my experience, most companies that offer benefits either do not actually provide these benefits for free, it comes out of your paycheck or you pay for it out of pocket.


So, in theory if you're using benefits you 1. did not pick out to your needs 2. are already paying for it 3. Know what you're paying for. Most employers will not tell you it comes out of your check (like taxes do), because we easily forget. remind your HR dept/manager and you can get benefits through your company (Obama care, if you're lucky and it still exists 90 days from your full time start date). Some advice: call heathcare.net and speak with someone about getting personal (PPO) insurance and you might qualified for a significant "life change" (aka you losing a job, turning 26, just married, just gave birth) The health net will automatically apply tax credits that go towards paying your insurance fees, this is all dependant on your current income status. If you do it outside of work, YOU have the control and the options to get what is relevant to you and your family's needs.


You can also ask your employer to deduct an amount (weekly, monthly, bi-weekly) of your insurance and it will be as if your company pays for it, it's essentially the same thing, you get the tax benefits, too when you pay for it/set it up. When you're opportunity driven, and looking to be a boss/entrepreneur the last thing you worry about is "benefits" or 401k (that you'll never ever see) If you are looking for a 40/40 scam, benefits are perfect for you, just make sure you know what you're getting/not getting with your benefits so you are 100% covered in case of an emergenecy, or like me, having tons of dr apts (Independence Blue Cross gold plan has been awesome IF you need (near to) FULL coverage, or closest i could find to.
