Fortune recently published its 2008 list of the top 100 companies to work for.  This list ranges from Internet companies to hospitals to coffee shops and everything in between.  

While one might want to read this list and dream about a job at one of these companies, there are even more work-related topics about which one might daydream.  At its Website, Fortune lists 15 Unusual Perks offered at some of these top 100 companies.  Forget 2 weeks vacation and an all-expenses paid holiday party, these companies offer some incredible benefits.

While you’ll need to go to Forbes to read the full list, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites:

• SCUBA diving lessons at Chesapeake Energy Corp.
• Matching employee charity contributions up to $60,000 at EOG Resources
• Free lunch Monday through Thursday at FactSet Research

Disney Company:
The Walt Disney Company began as a very small cartoon studio in the 1920’s and in 75 years has become a major corporation with the goal of providing quality entertainment and a certain creative magic for families.

The fertile imagination of Walt Disney and the staff he put together received more than 950 honors and citations from throughout the world including seven Emmys and 48 Academy Awards in Walt’s lifetime.

Drawing was part of Walt’s life at an early age and at seven years old he was selling sketches to his neighbors in Marcelling, Missouri.

During World War I, Walt joined the Red Cross and while overseas he drove an ambulance. He covered his ambulance in a unique type of camouflage which was his drawings and cartoons.

Studio Entertainment, Parks and Resorts, Consumer Products and Media Networks are the four major businesses of the Disney Corporation today
