When looking for your first job, you'll probably come across the term "employee benefits" more than once. What are they and what are the trends in the job market related to them?

logo and a thick, industrial roll of toilet paper for winning a sales contest. You can go wild. A piece of peat and pine seeds plus the inscription: "put down roots with us" for the first anniversary of work . A certificate to print yourself for 10 years of work. A prepaid card for USD 100 sent from the States, for which you had to pay PLN 280 in customs duties and - attention! - a training on saving and managing a household budget.
