The Irish Times Benefits

30 days annual leave and pension contributions.

After 1 years service, 6 weeks annual leave

Company performance profit-share exceptionally generous, and distributed equally.

You get 5 weeks paid Holidays

Benefits are very good when it comes to subsidised health insurance and the pension contribution scheme is great. Also annual leave is up to 30 days which is exceptional. Don't expect much else if you don't work in sales with regards to bonuses or free tickets to events as this all goes to the sales teams. It loses one star as the social life is non-existent, there's no team bonding days or even a decent Christmas party for staff which effects morale and prevents you getting to know colleagues outside of work. You even have to pay for your own Christmas team lunch. There's no flexitime and working from home was not an option pre-Covid.
