I worked at Comcast as a CSR during college.

I was able to enjoy all of the below:
Free PREMIUM digital cable service: All channels & premium channels (HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc...)
Free High speed internet
Free Local & Long distance phone service/


Absolutely amazing. That's about $200 a month right there.

[edit]
They also send a mini family outing annually. I was given four six flags ticket for all my family.

I can't wait til I get a real job after college though... I want real perks!

You must work in a family owned and operated business.

Dude, those are real perks, and nice ones. In the professional world companys don't give much of anything anymore unless you are an executive (or sometimes salesforce)
I have worked for 3 of the worlds larges companys in my life, and have never gotten any perks worth mentioning, unless you count a pink slip when Enron went kaput.

Notice that it says Anheuser-Busch "adult employees." As opposed to the massive child labor force they employ?

There's a difference in a company giving a raise/bonus, and a company giving perks...

Yeah. They get more booze so they don't notice missing co-workers or complain to OSHA. :p

16/17 to get a job...you have to be 21 to drink. I hope you can subtract?

I work retail, I like my employee discounts/accomodations quite a bit better. Though, a FREE lunch every day would be nice. That is, unless its old school cafeteria style.

My Emp D at Circuit City can be decent. I get merchandise at what they claim is cost. On computers, it is like.. 2%. on big screen TVs, it is around 50%. Accessories are huge, though.. for example, the 6" USB cables we sell for $27.99 (eww) I get on discount for $2.
