You can call up HR. They don't know have to know who you are. There is no harm in asking. Does the company have a website? Maybe you can find it on the careers link. Do you anyone in the company? Do you have friends who have friends in the company. Try using social networking like linked in or something like that. They may know. Try monster.com, they may information about the company. or hoovers.com.

I agree with the other HR person here. Asking about company benefits is rude and also shows that you don't care much about the job itself, just the benfits and pay. This is never a good way to present yourself. You can look on their website, that might be your only way to find anything in advance. But sorry, the only real way is to interview and go through the process. The same is true for salary. Recruiters are looking for someone who wants that job, for that job, never look like you just want a paycheck or just want to check out the health insurance. Wait it out and you'll find out. You also can't call HR. No one in HR is going to answer the question of "what are your benefits like for employees?" There are legal issues there, and they'll want to know what job you might be interested in, since you're asking.

It is becoming increasingly common for companies to post their benefits on their website if they have one. Often the information is somewhat general in nature so their competitors don't have easy access to exactly what they are offering. However, you should be able to get a feel for what they offer. If they don't have a website or it does not list benefits, you may try networking wiht someone who works there or if all else fails, you may need to wait it out until you have an offer.
Outright asking about benefits before an interview is viewed as uncouth and rude by many, and if I were intervieiwing someone, I would count it against them.

Ask around, search the internet. Also, unless you're considering dozens of job opportunities, it couldn't hurt to apply and get an interview just to see, could it? I would apply and if I were called to an interview, I would say, "I'm considering a few other offers, and part of the decision is benefits. Can you tell me a little bit about what kind of benefits this company offers?" Harmless question, and you have the right to ask it.

Go on their website and check our their benefit package which is now more on a outside website where you apply online.Some benefits are not included all on the website but for the most part it is on the website.Fedex do not tell people that you can get discounts on dell computers and cell phones.Trips to Disney world and restaurants are not included on their benefit packages online.

Just ask. An prospective employee asking about benefits is a perfectly legitimate question. In fact, it might let the employer know you are serious.
