    I eat hot lunch with my class each day, the lunch is provided (teacher).
  • Nothing really, unless you count their contribution to my pension or access to a water cooler. Can't charge my phone at work or use the internet for personal use. No Christmas bonus or paid-for nights out. Occasionally they provide free stationary but overall most people are out of pocket for buying their own supplies the rest of the time.

    I used to have free parking then they closed that office with it's lovely big car park and moved us to another office where it costs anything from £3 to £8 to park per day (depending on your hours and the day).
