Not all companies have the same compensation policies. At one company, you may be able to request a raise, but at another one, there are strict rules or you may find a mixture. It's important to know what you're walking into when applying.

If you know, not assume, how raises are determined, you are better equipped to move forward. Would you rather be able to negotiate a raise or accept the company compensation policy?

Negotiate for sure. When I hear "company compensation policy," my mind immediately translates it to "the least amount we can get away with paying you to keep you from leaving."

Exactly - a perfect example of corporate talk.

I definitely want clarity before I agree to work for a company. A lot of companies like to make big promises and then not follow through when it comes time to negotiate. I want to know the policies, in writing, before I put my whole career in their hands.

Yes - the agreement should go both ways!

I’ll rather negotiate.

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

When will the salary be credited in Optum.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales.

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
