Just throwing it out there.

I work in the "Marketing Department" for the biggest Auto Auction in the U.S. I recently found out that I can take my car to our locations and get work done at COST!

Can't wait to take the MCoupe out there.

Wish list: - Refinish the wheels - Respray the driver door and rear bumper - Replace the trailing arm and diff mount bushings

WOO HOO!

What are perks of your job?

I know some get company cars.. etc... blah, blah.. etc..

Go at it!

Free beer. Cheap tickets to beer festivals. Ability to show up at nice breweries and get private tours because I am actually in the industry.

These things were not worth the crap I got at the company I just left. Should be nice perks at the company I'm going too.

Work from home(or anywhere with good internet) whenever I need/want.

Flexibility to work around appointments & emergencies.

Employee-owned company. The net result is there's none of the "us" vs. "them" in relation to management/ownership vs. employees. It's a completely different work environment.

4-weeks total time off from the start(vacation + flex-time)

An extra week off for every 5-years of work.

Growing company in a solid business.

I get to travel around the country to visit the troops and stay in decent hotels. Sometimes I even get to visit the hotspots of the world like Kuwait and Afghanistan. Other times I get lucky and get Hawaii.

This year it was Hawaii, last year it was Honduras and Korea, the year before Kuwait and Afghanistan . Year before that was Hawaii twice and Alaska and year before that was Germany. Next year it will be Korea again, in January.

3 cars a year at cost. If I pick well, our cost can be well below wholesale.

Our time off policy reads "unlimited, as long as it does not impact the needs of the business." a bit of a double edged sword, that one

Access to a mill and some other tools. From what I can tell awesome medical insurance. 401k matching to a point. Company will pay for grad school (as long as it is a MBA).

I get bowls set on my head and yelled at for "FOOD FOOD FOOD MATER GO PLAY" to let me know my shift has started. Fortunately, I can take my work with me, anywhere. Except the strip club.

Oh nice. Bring some of that scrap metal with you and you can be in charge of mounting the intercooler, too.
