<ul>
<li><b>100% paid health insurance</b> for you, and 50% paid for eligible family members&mdash;saving you hundreds every month in out-of-pocket medical costs</li>
<li><b>Retirement plans</b> with lifetime monthly payments after five years of state service, plus options to save even more with 401(k) and 457 plans</li>
<li><b>Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave</b> so you can recharge and take care of life outside work (that&rsquo;s time off you&rsquo;re actually paid for)</li>
<li><b>Optional dental, vision, and life insurance</b>&mdash;at rates much lower than most private plans</li>
<li><b>Flexible spending accounts</b> for added tax savings on health and dependent care</li>
<li><b>Employee discounts</b> on things like gym memberships, electronics, and entertainment</li></ul><br>
