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 04:50 pm (UTC)I have more "vacation" days but they're not pure vacation - they're "paid time off" which means that sick and vacation come out of the same pool.
I'd check on whether or not you get those days up front or they have some stupid accrual rate thing even if you're salaried.
The medical bennies sound a lot better than almost anything I've had in 7 years of corporate work, except for my first 2.5 years of employment.
I started out with the best benefits package ever at my first job and it's spoiled me forever ... sick days at your discretion ... 5 weeks of paid vacation, 100% coverage health plan ... and the best employee matching program I've had to date for the 401K.
