38 days a year + leave (inc Bank holidays)
No dramas if i need to cut away to sort stuff out
Finish Fridays at 1230 most weeks
free medical including dental
free Gym membership
travel the world
good social club
play with heavy machinery
get to go sailing, scuba diving, walking, all over the world
discounts in all sorts of shops
decent pension but that’s changing for the worse:(
Good salary
not bad working conditions
lots of good courses

Join the army be the best (i cant guarantee if you join you will get all the above but i have)
 
60hrs + a week
Weekend work
Very intense and glued to the phone/screen/meeting room


I now have 30 days annual leave as I've been here a while but usually never get to take them all.

No bonus as the company can't seem to book a profitable contract.

Its awesome.
 
Currently unable to be made redundant as I am a Crown servant so it's a job for 30 years if you keep your nose clean. In today's climate it is a perk however there are no industrial rights to go with it.

That said, the Winsor report wants the law amended so police can be made redundant however he wants no industrial rights to go with it.
 
Erm..

30 days annual leave
Final salary pension
Fuel card and van
Use of private box at Cheltenham race days, excluding gold cup week..
As much building materials I can carry, so never buy anything to do home improvements or private jobs..
Oh, any scrap metal we remove/unused get weighed in so that's a £1000 bonus a year tax free..
Decent wage for someone of my age to really, above national average anywho.
Free rugby tickets for hospitality suite at Gloucester Rugby ground afew times a year.

So yeah, boring ass job and pretty hard work occasionally but it has its perks.

Oh, and a full English breakfast every Friday in works time, I'm going for mine in half hour!

All I have to do is spend half my life in Afghanistan.
 
Last job they paid for a drink at Christmas,
Except the pub was in the middle of nowhere so you had to drive ....which meant you couldn't drink.

Even if you could, the used vouchers were only handed out to the mates of the creepy guy in charge of them.


Current job is a bit underrated, so it depends on the upbringing of the clients if they actually remember me.
 
Company car
Everything paid for when travelling with company
Fuel card
Good pension
15% bonus
Bupa
Buy extra hols (normally 26 + bank hols)

About it I think
 
Due to the size of the company I work for, we have our own company discount page, which includes the likes of Apple, iTunes vouchers, HMV, Argos, etc etc;

Also, half price cinema tickets and organised European trips for cheap :)

Flexible on leaving early and arriving late as well as working from home if required.
 
A really fancy free gym with cable machines and smith machines that I get to use all to myself every lunchtime for an hour :D

Also Thanksgiving and Black Friday are company holidays - yay
 
When I worked for Audi I used to get £20k allowance for a car, which I had to have at a very good minimum spec, and got to change it every 9,000 mile.
Anything over the 20K I have to pay 2.5% of the difference per month.
I also had a fully expensed fuel card which seemed good when I had a 3.2L A3, but not until my next years tax code came in!

After a year of working there the allowance was cut to 12K and the fuel card removed.
Not so much fun then.

I also got to drive the new models when they came out - the only one I didn't get to drive was the A8 L Security. This was probably down to the cost of the vehicle and the "requirement" to have a driving course to learn to drive it. I was armoured so weighed a far bit more than a normal A8. Plus on the version when I worked there had pyro charges on the door hinges that was designed to enable you to get out of the car in a hurry - I could see too many people wondering what the big red button was for. It seems that the newer one has replaced this with an undercar fire suppression system and flashing lights and an siren.
