Health insurance could be a bit cheaper
Tsp is a good 401
All of them are great.
Great health insurance, lots of vacation time
Benefits are great for a secure future.
Benefits like pay, insurance, and retirement are excellent
Very slow pace, a lot of red tape
Still offers a pension plus 401K.
Benefits are great. PTO is great. Paid holidays are great. Health, Vision and Dental are all great. Retirement and pay are a bit lacking.
The main perk is your wage is tax-free. So, even though you get paid according to the state minimum wage, it is tax-free as long as you are a full time student, military connected, and using one of the chapters.
