Let's compare company based benefits packages

A million things to ask about a new company and a lot of it you won't learn until orientation. No lectures please, if you learned every detail before joining you just rock on! For the rest of us mere mortals...

My health insurance costs $200 per month for one person with a $3500 deductible and a $7000 cap on out of pocket.

I get about 1% 401k match fully vested at 6 years.

The usual paid holidays and one week PTO after a year.

How about all of you? If we get enough takers we can start naming names.

 

Ugh! Thanks. Great benefits. I thought ours sounded chintzy.

We get $18/hr detention after the first 2 hours to max out at $144/day.

 

Hey, I really appreciate that. When I was 1099 I didn't have insurance and wondered what it would be.

I see now it's close enough that I don't have to be W2 for insurance purposes.
Of course, if I could get insurance like YRC that would be amazing.

 

We just spent a bunch of time in the hospital with my brother who had cancer and I got to see first hand what must have been enormous expenditures. I rarely go to the doctor myself.

The important numbers are the deductible amount and the cap on out of pocket expenditures.

Anyway, the cost of my insurance sounds more normal though you have the better 401k. I hope we get more participants as the numbers are spread out and this is one area of job satisfaction where I haven't seen a deep dive.

 

Yeah, I know about some super premium jobs. Maybe five years ago a UPS driver told me he made $120k. Double Fed Ex Ground!?

I recently talked to a Ten Roads Express mail carrier and that's union and they make about those wages.

I've talked to Walmart drivers who are killing it.

Then, there are the rest of us trying to keep up with housing and inflation.
