My house is owned by my employers and I dont have to pay for it. So thats a nice bonus especially since its just a minimum wage job.
Oh and im off with a broken arm from work at the minute which its looking like ill need surgery for and they are still going to pay me my normal pay. Otherwise id just have to work with it somehow.

What annoys me is that most people get a hefty discount on the things their company produces.
Do I get a discount on oil? Do I monkeys!
Biggest perk though is a company credit card which is only monitored by my boss and he's...both encouraging and generous when he suggest locations for corporate food and entertainment.

They make me pay for life insurance out my benefits.
I do get a car, but the budget isn't great so most decent stuff is out of reach.

Additional for my office:

We have duel screens at my place but only because they are too tight to upgrade our 4:3 monitors to widescreen ones.
- Flexi time
- No grief over starting at 10 and finishing at 4, so long as you get 150 hours in within the month
- Can request to take holiday at short notice
- Free wi-fi
- Free tea & coffee
- Dress down Fridays
- Relaxed atmosphere
- Free parking
- Compare share purchase at discount
- City wage, but the location is on the outskirts, which is ideal

I get given more work to do.

Usual holiday package
Bonus Schemes
Plenty of overtime opportunities for extra money
Mobile Phone
i5 Dell Laptop
another PC under my desk

Yes, yes it does as it is also one of mine lol. (Not an official perk, kinda ties in with the next one)
Despite not being in the services I pretty much get military discount everywhere.
Flexible approach to hours (as long as my stuff is done)
Get to work with some amazing people and see things most wont.
Bit of international travel with options to go out abroad for a couple years further along the career chain if I want.
Cheap gym access
Few other things like ms office professional (I think) for 15 quid or something and stuff like that.

ha, you call those perks? We get free parking, a table tennis table and I get a choice of 3 mugs to have my tea in.

Like you a games room, massages, free coffee and free home internet connection. Christmas and summer party, also the odd team outing occasionally, oh and a discounted canteen and free fresh OJ and fruit.
