I search for pension, retirement, retirement benefits, etc.
I know all about 401k's so you don't have to waste your time there, but most companies aren't sharing their specifics on pensions, profit sharing, and stock options...
Since I have read all the posts on pay, now I want to weigh out the other stuff. Entergy or TVA looks like one of companies I will more than likely work for and they actually list in their manual exactly what you get.
For TVA, they put 6% of you pay into a pension account for you.
Question: Straight pay or 6% of everything?
For Entergy they say,"AVG Pay x 1.5 x # yrs". What avg pay??? It can't be yearly!!! So, monthly, weekly, bi-weekly?
What is considered base pay? Just straight time 40 hrs? OR, include overtime? Or, include overtime and bonuses?? (I know that "base" doesn't include bonus...just trying to present every option I can think of.)
I would just appreciate help from people describing their companies pension for Ops (RO/SRO). Any companies info would help because besides the 2 I listed, no one else divulges the info... It might help me decide to go somewhere else.
Thx in advance...
