We have this policy at work. It's way to hard to manage different accruals for different employees. We also had issues with incumbent employees finding out that new hires negotiated more PTO and then wanting it for themselves.[/quote]

Yeah, I can appreciate that. But it sure makes it hard to either attract more senior level people (15 - 20 years experience, right in that sweet spot of their career) as a recruiter, and/or to leave as an employee.

I've technically got unlimited PTO, but in practicality I have 5 weeks (+ 2 weeks holidays). I would be hard, hard pressed to drop back to 2 weeks and many companies don't even offer that until a year in.

It's a tough choice. [/quote]

PTO, flexible work hours and amazing health insurance for low cost is what keeps me at my job.  I know I could get a higher salary elsewhere but it's not worth the trade off.

OP-- open up excel and figure out exactly how much you are giving up for this position.  15 days for PTO times your currently hourly rate plus the 1200 in extra health care.  You may want to consider asking for more than the $150[/quote]
