    I need your opinion in this case!
    Wayn Mcgraw greeted Robert Peters, his next interviewee, warmly. Robert had an excellent academic record and appeared to be just the kind of person Wayne's company, Beco Electric, was seeking. Wayne is the university recruiter for Beco and had already interviewed six graduating seniors at Centenary College.
    Based on the application form, Robert appeared to be the most promising candidate to be interviewed that day. He was 22 years old and had a 3.6 grade point average with a 4.0 in his major field, industrial management. Not only was Robert the vice president of the Student Government Association, but he was also activities chairman for Kappa Alpha Psi, a social fraternity. The reference letters in Robert's file revealed that he was both very active socially and a rather intense and serious student. One of the letters from Robert's employer during the previous summer expressed satisfaction with Robert's work habits.
    Wayne knew that discussion of benefits could be an important part of the recruiting interview. But, he did not know which aspects of Beco's benefits program would appeal most to Robert. The company has an excellent profit-sharing plan, although 80 percent of profit distributions are deferred and included in each employee's retirement account. Health benefit are also good. It also has long-term care insurance. The company's medical and dental plan pays a significant portion few managers take advantage of this. Employees get one week of paid vacation after the first year and two weeks after with the company. Two weeks are provided each year for sick leave. In addition, there are 12 paid holidays each year. Finally, the company encourages advanced education, paying for tuition and books in full, and under certain circumstance, allowing time off to attend classes during the day. It also provides scholarships for dependents.


    Questions:
    1- What aspects of Beco's benefits program are likely to appeal to Robert? Explain.
    2- In today's work environment, what additional benefits might be more attractive to Robert? Explain.



    Thank You

    Honestly, none of the benefits except maybe the time off, most young people don't think about getting sick, don't think about retirement, and they don't think bonuses as dollars in the pocket,
    The actual pay and time off would be of the only real interest in real life to a young person.

    A young person may want things like health club membership,
