THIS STUDY PRESENTS A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE OPINIONS OF STUDENTS EMPLOYED (WORKING STUDENTS) AT A MULTINATIONAL COMPANY IN ALBA COUNTY WITH OVER 2500 EMPLOYEES. THE ANALYSIS INDICATES A STRONG INCLINATION AMONG STUDENTS (67.1%) TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THEIR CURRENT COMPANY AFTER GRADUATION, WITH SALARY EXPECTATIONS PLAYING A CRUCIAL ROLE, WHILE A SMALL PERCENTAGE (5.5%) PLANS NOT TO JOIN THEIR CURRENT EMPLOYER POST -GRADUATION, AND 27.4% REMAIN UNDECIDED, EMPHASIZING THE NUANCED DYNAMICS OF STUDENTS' CAREER DECISIONS. RESPONDENTS PRIORITIZE FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING, SIGNALING A SHIFT IN CONTEMPORARY WORKERS' PREFERENCES FOR EFFICIENT TIME MANAGEMENT AND WORK -LIFE BALANCE. MEDICAL SERVICES AND MEAL VOUCHERS ARE ALSO CRUCIAL, HIGHLIGHTING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN PERCEIVED BENEFITS.
