“You accrue 10 hours of vacation time per month (15 days per year) and 8 hours of sick time per month.”
Good health care system, good retirement, good atmosphere
Nothing outstanding for benefits. Folks who had been working for a long time, had better benefits than what is offered now.
Berkeley Lab offers an excellent Benefits package. The Lab covers a generous proportion of premiums on Health programs. They cover 100% for both dental and vision. They Offer life insurance up to one years salary and you have the option to purchase more. They offer 2 different retirement options. One is a pension plan (which is not offered at most institutions anymore) as well as a 401k. They offer 15 days of vacation and you accrue 1 sick day per month. The work life balance is really something that the Lab takes a lot of pride in. The Lab does some amazing research that changes the world. Employees at the lab really believe in the Mission.

It's fine. It'll keep you alive while you are a postdoctoral fellow. Health insurance is very affordable.
