What is something that is secretly cool about your job?
I'm not talking about salary or vacation benefits. I'm talking about stuff that's not obvious to an outsider and will never be mentioned as a benefit, but nonetheless it's kind of cool and brings you a little enjoyment in your workday.

For me, a secret cool thing is that I get to go behind the scenes at tons of jobs. I've gotten to tour the back operations at everything from jails to caulk factories to college presidents' offices, and I get to hear about their industries and challenges and how they view the world. I really like doing this.

Another secret cool thing is that when we do focus groups we often get to take home pizza and brownies.

The third cool thing is that I get to know all sorts of great internet places for data. I'm always hunting around and finding odd data sets. Granted, not everyone may think that's cool, but I do.


What about y'all?

Good on you. I can't imagine not working from home though I respect those who don't.

I get to wear jeans every day. (I hate dress pants, ties and the rest of that crap.) I put all my expenses on my Capital One card and get reimbursed every week, by doing this, I acquire a boat load of points for airline travel for free. I keep refineries, mines and power plants from blowing up at startups, which can be a challenge at times, but I really enjoy all the detail.

Make the most of it. Once you get the taste it's very hard to go back, I would think.

It's a blue collar business but we are sales driven.

When ever we get the opportunity to control the bar I play bartender and basically purchase what I want. Any left overs go home with me. I don't really over purchase, but there are times when people just are not in the mood to drink and I really score some great stuff. I have not bought a bottle of wine or beer in years. When people come to the house they are always amazed at my selection. This is more difficult with hard liquor, but when the right event comes along I stock up. I've built a nice scotch collection over the years.

Another benefit is that I have a client who invites me to a number of "business" functions. That's usually 3 or 4 college football games, and one 4-5 day no expense sparred business trip. I actually get to help select the city, which is typically based upon what NFL game is going on. This has allowed me to attend most stadium in the destination cities in the country.
NICE!!!

We used to have free massages in the office once a week, now they are once a month and we have to pay. Still, we have a dedicated office for it and its nice to just take a 30 min break like that during the day.

I also get to travel to interesting places that would be really expensive to get to on my own. Not typical tourist destinations, but interesting nonetheless.
