Pensions are quickly becoming a thing of the past in the private sector. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Along with pensions they are the only one that offers paid maternity leave and a slew of other lovely benefits. Their employees never leave. so very few openings and they get very competitive. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Employees were vested after 3 years of experience. They also offered a 403B but did not offer any employee-matching because of the pension. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
