Are the company perks such as corporate discounts worth it? I found most of them worthless.

A lot depends on what the perks actually are. I probably wouldn't choose a job based on the company perks. But it might help me decide between two jobs if the salary is close.

I always think excessive "perks" is just a sign that they're trying to reduce turnover without paying anyone better. I take it as a red flag most the time.

I've never found a corporate discount that is actually substantial. Usually it's like 5% off of full price, and I can generally find a better deal online. I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but I've yet to find them.

Yeah.. I love my flexibility to work from home. I save a lot of time and money not having to commute and also not needing to pay for childcare with my three kids; this is the greatest perk I have. I also love my wellness stipend that saves me around $100 per month in gym or wellness activities.

I use our site regularly, the appliance discounts alone are incredible. I just bought deluxe lg washer and dryer set with free delivery install and haul away for $1300 when that’s the cost of just one of the units at a big box store

Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
