Every job I've ever had the only thing I've ever signed was a letter saying my starting salary, I'm full time, and I'm at will, that's it. Nothing like "we agree on five weeks PTO a year accrued weekly and a 401(k) plan administrated by Vanguard with X,Y,Z investment options and a 6% match and a health insurance plan offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield with a $300/month premium" or whatever. Everything's really short and generic and leaves room for the company to come up with all the policies and dictate everything.
I happen to have a job acceptance letter sitting on my desk right now. Reading through it, as far as benefits it says that the position is eligible for benefits, gives the benefits in very, very generic terms "PTO, retirement, health, dental" and they are "subject to terms conditions and limitations outlined in the plan documents and policies." Well "plan documents and policies" are under complete control of the employer, so the translation is "we decide the benefits and dictate them to you."
