The FS pension is a great perk, how difficult is the commute? Do you get a van/car with the 1st. job, who owns the 2nd. company if it is a family owned they can sell it at any time, also you are being paid out the owners profits so any perks are not very forthcoming. Having worked for both types I would lean towards the larger,current company, BUT you have got to do a lot of soul searching as to how bored you will be.
