1. Do you work?


Yep, at The Ohio State University (no, I am not being an ass, we've actually been told that we have to write out the name like that...it doesn't matter where the The comes in the sentence, because it is part of the name).

2. Does the company/place you work for have a benefits scheme?


There are a lot of benefits working for a micro-nation such as this university.

3. If yes, is it good?


There are a lot of amazing perks, I'll list some of them in 4.

4. Does it get you discounts at shops in the city you live in?


15% off at the Barnes and Noble on campus.
15% discount with any of the big phone companies: T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc.
20% off Aveda Hair Salons

There are a bunch of others, but the first 2 are really the only two I've cared about. OSU basically drives the economy in Columbus, so there are a lot of perks being an employee. There's actually an entire website devoted to the "hidden benefits" of being an employee here, with some 100 or more discounts available.

5. Which benefit would you most want?


I've saved quite a lot of money with the Verizon discount, and when I do buy books, I go to our B&N to save some moneyyy.

Edit: There are also a lot of health perks-- by this, I mean they pay you money to be healthy and striver to be healthier. There is a whole point system, where you can earn points for exercising, going to health seminars, monitoring your blood pressure, etc. Once you reach 125 points, you can that much money added to your next paycheck; this can be done quarterly, so you can earn up to 500 extra a year by just doing healthy activities.
