Need help with people that have done this before.

Got a job with a local firm and now in the process of negotiating my compensation and benefits. Other than the pay, what are some of the benefits ppl have asked & received?

One specific question about health insurance. The local firm obviously doesn't have relationships with large US insurance carriers. I don't know if Worldlink offers a plan itself, and I have no intention of going to a local hospital. What have others done in the past?

Thanks a lot.

Some local companies provide lunch package for their employees. Others reimburse their employees' cellphone bill. I also heard they can get 13, even 14 months of annual salary as a bonus. If you often travel out of town, you could ask for allowance/day & compensation. Usage of car is also part of the benefits for middle-upper management.
