Can leave to pick up a sick grandchild, can have the grandkids with me at work when it is necessary,
can take time off for all their school events/programs. That to me is worth more than money!

I have a company paid cell phone, and some company supplied gas when it’s available (we’re in recycling) any used, but still good tires that I need.
Internet up all day, and ok to be on it, and free soda pop.
Other benefits have been used, but good lumber, all the landscaping timbers for my garden,
and lots of pots and containers for my garden, as well as no delivery cost on the company barkdust.

Full company paid health insurance – I could add a spouse, should that become necessary.
They pay for any classes needed to update my computer skills.
And dress is very casual… jeans and t-shirts or sweatshirts with sneakers. Totally up to me.

They best thing is that they are family friendly, and that they frequently say how much they appreciate my work, and how well it is done, and that they are glad they do not have to deal with all the details, etc. I also know that they would bend over backwards to help me if I needed to improve, and give employees every chance before letting them go. Very good family to work for.

I’m extremely happy with this job – even tho I dropped $4/hr when I took it. But I’m not working for the $$, but for the paid health insurance, and the ability to take the time off for the grandkids when needed. (Their mom is a single mom, working full time also, and going to college full time…so she appreciates my being able to help out)
