When weighing job options, sometimes it can be the little things that make a big difference. Sure, the actual job responsibilities and salary are often the most prominent features that students consider, but the perks and additional benefits can sometimes be the make-or-break points when deciding between two options.


With a tightening job market on the employers’ side, many are turning increased attention to bringing back perks. On-site gyms, flex time, and access to other conveniences such as oil changes and pedicures are starting to reappear. Employers are realizing that there are some low-cost perks they can offer which can make a big difference in the attractiveness of their organization. They can create an organizational culture and environment in which employees thrive and have fun.
Along these lines, working for the government can be one option for comprehensive benefits packages. A national initiative called “Call to Serve” put together a list of Ten Reasons to Consider a Federal Career, and many of them focus on those things other than salaries (which, by the way, are competitive with private employers in most cases).
The job duties and salary are important things to consider, but sometimes it’s the small things that add up to make a good job exceptional at an organization that recognizes the little things.
