I get a ten dollar gift card to the company I work for. The previous job I had gave 4%, which usually ended up being close to a weeks pay; I was quite happy with that.
I used to work for a small business and got a $75 dollar bonus, which was based on merit (and I got the largest one). The business wasn't exactly thriving, so it felt good to know that all of my butt busting was appreciated.
I don't think bonuses should be expected, they are a nice perk. The current place I work for does give a full days holiday pay for Christmas, Easter, New Years, July 4th, Memorial Day, and 2 "free days" a year, which is always a nice surprise in the pay check.
