"company closes for 1.5 weeks during Christmas/New Year time"
My company provides services to other businesses, and many of them do something similar, however they still have a lot of facilities and IT people working double time during these "Shutdowns" because its convenient. Not sure what your career is. I would verify that shutdown applies to you.
How close are you to cashing out on the pension at your current job? The older I get, the more I regret leaving my previous pension job for more money. I could be retiring at 55 with a pension and could work as a consultant/or not at all, or when I feel like. However, the new jobs 401k contributions are appealing and if this current job is a private company, how secure is the pension really?
The 13% base salary bonus would be a big step up, but how is that regular? It can be tough to verify if you don't know anyone currently working there.
Don't forget your work environment. If you really like your current one, you could be in for a shock when you change.. Unless you are in a high CoL area, $100k a year should be comfortable, so the pay increase shouldn't be day-to-day life changing, however with the bonus, 20% increase could have a huge impact on retirement plans.
