Compensation Reviews

Better transparency on internal comp levels. I've witnessed several employees with less experience make more than some senior/tenured employees.

Better commissions and more respect

I feel that my style doesn't always fall in line with the typical agency recruiter and I receive a lot of pressure to adjust to KPI structure even if I am succeeding without those numbers. A raise would be nice. I see other roles out there similar to mine paying more.

Bigger base salary & not splitting commissions 50%.
