What are some things that your employers do that you like? What makes you work for the company that you work for?
Benefits are nice.
Anything specific. Were the benefits similar at the last place you worked?
When I was in insurance, my boss started a new thing. Since things slow down in teh afternoon on Fridays and many of our clients were out west (time variance), he allowed some of us to stay on M-Th til 6 and we got to leave at 3 on Friday.

Fridge stocked with soda, water, beer
yeah, we have liquor too. Actually, since the "conference room" is my boss's dining room table (it's a loft joined to the office by a huge roll-up steel door) we have a full bar. I guess you could count the hot tub on the roof too, but I haven't used that for work yet. Maybe next winter I'll walk around the office in swim trunks and a robe and pop up there during breaks.I thought we were the only company to do this My boss has a full liquor mini bar too!
