"Several options ranging from the low monthly premium, but a high $1500 deductible (including your prescriptions) HSA plan to a more traditional PPO with a $300 annual deductible (but you pay nearly four times more a month in premiums). Vision care is VSP which really limits who is "in-network." Go out of network and only get $50 reimbursed for exam. Annual lens allotment is puny compared to other employer plans. Dental is pretty much the same as everywhere else--Delta Dental. Generally, expect to pay 10% out of pocket on the HSA (after $1500 deductible which Amazon contributes $500). On the PPO, you'll pay the 10% as well after $300 (no Amazon contribution), but your prescriptions are on a more traditional co-pay scale. If you have prescriptions of any significant cost, you'll probably get killed on the HSA."

"Vacation hour accrual is capped at 160 hours no matter what your annual accrual is. After that, you earn nothing until you burn some off. Personal days are six, and now (only thanks to the City of Seattle rules) there are three sick days so that the two add up to the Seattle requirement of nine days for full-time workers. Personal days are issued in increments in the first few months of the year. The two weeks of vacation (accrued at 6.67 hrs each month) in the first year is an absolute insult. It nearly prevented me taking the job coming from a job with five weeks of vacation and two weeks of sick leave."
