I have a 4 1/2 day work week.. not much going on some Friday afternoons.. plus I can leave for lunch or to run to the store whenever I want to for something.
Have gotten out of speeding tickets
Quailty Healthcare with Tri-care
Awesome bank in USAA
Get discounts on food at most places
However I think the best perk, not trying to sound corny, is that I work with guys that would fight til the end for me. There is a brotherhood in the military like few around and I think thats the best perk around.

Daycare on site (i have no kids but the ones that do can just drop off their kids and go to work)
Free Flavia
On-site store that sells the products we make at a super discount-major plus
Salary-I hate being on the clock
My own computer, desk area
Dell and Apple product discounts
13% off my cell phone service
Laid back, caring mgmt
Adoption assistance
90% tuition assistance
Free MS Office as long as you work with the company
High security-I have to go through like 5 check points daily and you catch major hell if you don't have your ID
Free birthday lunch
Best perk is having a job I absolutely love. Next best is having a bunch of men and women who would do anything for me. Law enforcment/fire/ems is the Best in the world!
I BEST perks I ever had were at two companies; American Express & New York Life. Here is a list of some of the perks:
American Express (Plantation, FL)
Health care benefit coverage starting day 1 of employment

Tons of break rooms with fantastic vending machines
Beautiful outdoor amenities for eating, smoking or just hanging out on break
IVF coverage and adoption assistance
Company sponsered free meals and parties
Onsite playground
Bad points: They treat you like a slave and the pay is horrible! They think because you are working for "AMERICAN EXPRESS" that you should be honored and grateful. You are at the mercy of these team leaders who think their SH**t don't stink!
New York Life (Parsippany, NJ)
Healthcare benefit coverage starting day 1 of employment
Beautiful lunchroom with great food
Indoor fitness center
Indoor ATM machines
Automatic raises every six months

Badpoints: You better be somebody's favorite or part of the "in" crowd or you can kiss away your chance for promotion or advancement... (oops, did I say that?)
Independant Contract Recruiter (Work from home!)
I can work in my pajamas or naked (hehe)

The only perk for myself there is no supervisor around my work day and free Gatorade on hot days.They also supply water and ice. I go in, clock in, get paperwork and head to my route.
My wife work is the best of all. I start by saying that some coworkers have someone to punch them in early before arriving. The one who punch you in early you return a favor by punching them out when you leave work because they left earlier in the afternoon.
A few sit down and play video games, card games and drink occasionally on clock hours.
After they ended their routes they may go drink some more and watch sports at hotels in the area then go back and clock out.
Whenever you get upset and fill like cursing out and threatening to kill the supervisors because you feel they screwing over you its ok, they dont mind. They'll just return the favor and threaten to kill you first but you'll still beable to keep your job.
I guess your wonder what job she has that allows you to do all this.
There favorite saying is there's always a job at the USPS.
The best perk I get is free hotel rooms in the Hawaiian islands and heavily discounted hotel rooms in the rest of the world. Plus, because there is such a strongly-connected network in the hospitality industry, chances are you know someone who knows someone at a hotel you want to visit and they will upgrade you to a suite or something.
At my specific hotel, we have a cafeteria with free food. I can use the gym at the hotel whenever I want to, and I always get free food from our really good restaurants and bar. Also, my entire company has partnerships with different companies, so I get a lot of corporate perks (ie. 1800flowers, dell and toshiba, car companies...the list is huge).
Now I just need to marry someone in the airline industry so I can get free flights and hotel rooms!
