I have a great offer on the table, but HR has made it clear that the salary is maxed out. My hesitation is that the benefits package is pretty weak. Medical is fine, but dental and vision cover almost nothing. Does anyone have experience asking for better coverage in this scenario, or are group health plans typically take-it-or-leave-it?

Employer benefits are what they are no room to negotiate them. Sometimes employers will have 2 packages you can choose from one being more expensive with slightly more coverage but that’s it.

Ask for more money… They don’t wanna pay you above the cap but they can but you gotta ask for… If they want you, they’ll offer you more!!

Dental and vision packages are relatively inexpensive to purchase on your own. Maybe you should consider buying yourself supplemental if it’s a dealbreaker for you.

I have found that you can upgrade within the plan for better dental and vision. It should be available when you initially choose your benefits
