Nice 401K dental and healthy insurance good company

The best is the 401K plan through Fidelity. UW provides a competitive employer match to employee contributions that is effective immediately. The overall health insurance is either through Kaiser or Blue Cross.

It comes with a tuition waiver. But the workload depends on which course you teach.
