  • Vacation & Paid Time Off(70 comments)

    Vacation and PTO is accrued.

  • Health Insurance(59 comments)

    excellent with PPO and HMO options

  • Pension Plan(57 comments)

    great in that GA is one of the few companies that has one; newer contributions go into a variable pension where your payments can go up or down even in retirement
