Free Starbucks Stock
Stock options are a typical form of compensation for executive bigwigs, but even part-time baristas are compensated with a piece of the company at Starbucks. Through its Bean Stock program, Starbucks awards baristas and other low-level workers with restricted stock each year. That could end up being much more valuable than a regular Christmas bonus—Starbucks stock has increased in value by more than one hundred fold since it began the program in 1991.
