okay well
so what i'm sorry
go ahead
what what kind of benefit uh benefits do you have at work
well i i'm i work at a large company and uh
we have quite a quite a few benefits and uh we have um
uh-huh
the best benefit i like is the uh amount of uh vacation time especially after uh working working there for a long time it really build up to the amount of vacation time i
um-hum
um-hum
uh-huh
i think that's one of my best benefits
oh yeah is there a something that you wished you had that you don't or
well one thing that i i uh
wish uh in a big company there's more bureaucracy and
uh less support of uh
what you're doing i think and uh that's something that um
yeah
is uh probably and a benefit of a smaller company you get more support from the the people that you work for
um-hum
yeah i work for a relatively small company we're a trade association for credit unions and uh
our benefits are fairly good and like you say that support i mean you work directly with the president and the executive vice president and you know they you get the feedback from them directly and i like that but
i wish i really the thing i like i guess i wouldn't mind having a better retirement plan we have just a defined benefit plan and
i kind of would like the idea of having a 401K or something that i could you know contribute to and get some matching contributions
yeah
that'd be a lot better i that's one thing i wish i had a little bit more of but
you're really thinking of the future
uh yeah
i i don't know i'm kind of the type i just don't wanna work my whole life i'd rather be able to
yeah
make my money and be able to retire and enjoy a lot of things before
yeah
and so that's and that's one way i can see doing it but none of them
i work i work for the state of Florida and uh it's pretty good retirement plan
uh-huh
uh-huh
um
we don't get paid very much but uh
retirement plan is pretty pretty good
works good
yeah that's like i say ours
we're we get uh vacation is pretty good too i mean it's you get a week after the first year two after the second three after the third and it goes up
just every year by a week up until i think like six years which is a lot better than anybody else i'd ever heard of uh
yeah
yeah that's quite a bit of vacation to have after six years service so
did you say you work for a credit union
uh it it's a a credit union league they're kind of a trade association for credit unions we uh
okay
kind of do a lot of the
uh political support and stuff like that
for the credit different credit unions within the state
yeah my wife used to work for a credit union group they magazine they had a newsletter that went out to all the
but
oh did she
all the uh credit union CEOs and people like that so she was really into the keeping up on what's going on with the credit unions
uh-huh
uh-huh
oh really
huh what what did she work for
uh it was it was a company um i think it was called Credit Union News or something
uh-huh
it was based out of uh
i think it was Boca Raton Florida
oh really
yeah that sounds pretty familiar to me
yeah it was pretty uh
but uh
pretty glossy kind of uh
um-hum
newsletter that comes out
yeah
well uh do you get to
i don't know have you heard of any people that kind of do this uh the cafeteria plan where they kind of let you choose what kind of benefits you get or
uh not too much
is that something that Florida does or where your work the state of Florida or you pretty much get what they give you and
nah
yeah just i get what what you give in uh
that's uh
not not uh
with not too many choices
yeah i guess a lot of the more uh some of the newer companies and the up and coming real fast growing ones kind of do that way but some people say it ends up costing them more because whatever
you know men and women alike they give them say three hundred bucks a month and they can buy their health insurance and their retirement and whatever but
and if they whatever they don't use they get in cash
yeah
but a lot of companies don't like to do that because they figure if you got two people working then one spouse might take insurance and the other won't so it saves the company money
yeah
whereas this one you know you'd end up paying regardless
yeah i guess
but for the employees it sure sounded like a pretty good idea
yeah
but anyway i haven't uh
haven't got so fortunate as to get into any of those companies yet
yeah
but
anyway
okay well
well hey it was good talking to you
okay
all right see you later bye-bye
okay bye
