perk

A perk is a special benefit or advantage that comes with your job, school, or other situation.

When someone gets a new job, they might be excited about the perks, like having free gym membership, flexible hours, or extra vacation days. It's like getting a bonus on top of what you already get paid for working. Some people even say "perks" to describe the fun things that come with being part of a certain group, like getting discounts at restaurants just because you're a member of their loyalty program.
