porphyrinHaving never held a 'real job', I need some advice.
Do those sound like /poor/ fringe benefits or *good* fringe benefits?
1. BCBS coverage for the entire family, with any visits to any doctors at any of the St. Cloud Medical Group clinics being gratis (imaging other than plain X-ray is not gratis, but is covered by BCBS)
2. 401 K which you are eligible for after your first year (okay, 17 months because of the enrollment period) with 12 funds to choose from, and the employer matches 75 cents to the dollar, fully vested after 6 years (0%, 20%, 40$, etc), plus any quarterly profits being placed in the 401K after the first year
3. Life insurance-- 20K worth.
4. Disability insurance-- 4-6K of portable insurance and then non-portable to 65% of your income.
5. All moving expenses paid for.
6. 5 paid sick days. 16 vacation days. 4 Continuing Medical Education days (count as vacation).
7. $3K toward continuing medical education expenses.
8. $1K to cover your choice of dental & optical plans for the year.
Maybe I'm just razzle-dazzled by my first job offer ever?

Date: 2004-09-21 02:54 pm (UTC)So I could take my vacation *whenever*, as long as there are 3 pediatricians in the office at any given time. And vacation is, um... production based, really.
So basically you see as many patients as you want. You work as much or as little as you want, and you are paid on that basis. The only requirement is that you work 75% time or greater: that is, 3 days a week or more.
If I *wanted* to take 8 weeks of vacation, nobody would stop me. It would mean a pay decrase of 10-20%, but I could do it if I wanted. Nobody keeps track.
