I am curious.... for those with 6+ weeks of PTO/Sick/Holidays - Where do you work?

I always hear it's liberal areas like the Bay Area that get those kind of benefits. Just curious.... If I need to move

This thread just seems like a reverse brag thread where people are just trying to one-up each other and don't actually have the benefits they're claiming to have.

I work for a university hospital in NYC

fwiw, while my position isn't a Union position, a lot of the positions in the hospital are so there's some nice carry-over of us non-unioners getting some of their benefits (for example, after I pass the introductory 6-month probationary period, if they want to fire me there's a whole process they have to go through where I have to be written up, evaluated, given a plan of action to fix whatever's wrong, etc)

 

[rcpratt]

My fiancee (teacher):

-~100 days PTO
-Great health insurance. Pretty close to zero premium and nothing out of pocket, ever.
-Below average pension, no other retirement benefits
-Shitty salary that is often frozen and will be cut next year.
-Expected to work after work
-No employee development benefits. She even has to pay to go to teaching conferences to renew her teaching license

15 vacation days, max accrual = 2 years worth
3 company holidays

[JBT]

Vacation:
0-9yrs - 3 weeks
10-20yrs - 4weeks
20+ 5 weeks

No cap on sick days. Don't abuse it.

9 days off, + 2 floaters
Decent Medical with PPO's, Also Offer HDHP plan an give you $1200 for a $3000 Premium. I've saved up about $12K in the last couple years being pretty healthy.

Very flexible with work times for folks who get in their hours and get their work done.

Pension up to 40% of your highest three years salary rate. Vest at 5 years starting at 8% and gain like 1.2% per year until 40% cap.
Bus Passes
Up to $20K education reimbursement.

I've had bonuses between 8% and 13% for the last 5 years. All depends on companies performance.
I'd say out of the gate salaries decent for the area, if you can play ball and aren't afraid to leave you can do pretty well.

 

[SketchMaster]

$1,000 cap for 401k? IRS limit for 2015 is $18,000.
