Very basic benefits . The worst I've seen

Everything is pretty standard, no retirement plan, time off is minimum, health benefits are ok.

Their short term medical benefits are a scam. They are "self funded" by the company, not Blue Cross or anyone else. So, that means they pay out of pocket, but only you're one of the family, or missing an arm or a leg. e Expect ZERO coverage if something happens. Numerous people took 2-3 months off due to illness or injury and PBS refused to pay.

No eye coverage, no pension or stock options.

Basic coverage, however due to the high rate of travel they include travel insurance but removed glasses/eye coverage
