Whole Foods
After part-timers have worked 400 hours, they get health, dental and vision plans, as well as 401(k) retirement plans, paid time off, and a 20% employee discount. After working 6,000 hours, employees are offered stock options.

Target
Work at Target as few as two and a half days a week for six months, and you can become eligible for Target’s health care coverage. Employees also get access to other health benefits like free flu vaccinations, a 24-hour nurse hotline and discounts for Weight Watchers.

UPS
All UPS employees get medical, dental and vision coverage, as well as life insurance. The company also offers many part-time workers tuition assistance. According to Susan Rosenberg, UPS’s spokeswoman, 45% of newly hired UPS part-timers in 2010 were college students who took advantage of the company’s generous tuition assistance benefits.

Trader Joe's
No wonder the employees always seem so happy and upbeat: After working 20 hours per week for three months, Trader Joe’s employees earn health insurance benefits—dental, vision and medical—to all part-time employees and their dependents. They also earn a 10% crew member discount (so no guilt about buying two containers of those delicious dark chocolate peanut butter cups).
