What are job benefits in full time jobs?

Many companies will provide some health care benefits, sometimes with the employee contributing some part of the company's cost. The health care coverage will vary quite a bit from company to company, but may include help with prescriptions, office visits, hospital stays, and sometimes even costs when outside of the local provider networks used by most employees. There is usually a co-pay at the time of service, or when picking up prescriptions. Whether or not these benefits are available will depend to a degree on the size of the company.

Benefits may also include contributions into a 401K or 403B account to help finance retirement. Some companies will actually match employee contributions to such accounts (up to a modest limit) to encourage retirement savings. This means that you instantly double your money (up to the limit) as soon as you contrinbute it out of your pay. These accounts go with you from job to job, and that is very good.

Other benefits include vacation and sick time; some places have a PTO system; paid time off. This means that it doesn't matter whether you are sick or on vacation. You have so much time, and you can use it as you wish.
