When I worked in an office, I got yearly raises, yearly cash bonuses, yearly profit-sharing bonuses and decent vacation/PTO. We generally had monthly (if not more frequent) lunches out, a nice Christmas party, and a kitchen stocked with coffee and soda. I actually had half of my son's daycare expenses covered, too; that was a perk that I negotiated as part of my salary before I went on maternity leave with my first child.

That was a really good job; I liked being there, the people were great and the work itself was interesting. (I became a stay-at-home mom around the time that I got pregnant with my second child, and I started my own business years later, so no more employers for me after that.)

I feel like one of the luckiest people around. I keep in touch with my colleagues from my graduate program to see how they like their jobs so far following graduation. The small firm trusts me to do my job, I have ownership over the processes to achieve the product, I have a say in how I want to grow the firm, what projects I want to be involved in, and the firm is committed to my development as a young professional such as by helping me practice my presentation skills frequently.

And from what I've read on here, I'm one of those rare salaried employees that actually only works 40-45 hours a week. Unlike many of my colleagues from school, I don't have a clock in/clock out system, I started out with 2 weeks paid vacation, I got a great relocation expenses package, I have a hour for lunch and they encourage me to go out during that time.

Wow! Among the people that I know, if a salaried employee works only 60 hours a week they consider themselves very, very lucky about the low hours.
