Hi TeeS
You make a perfectly valid point regarding the starting salary and other benefits. Compared to some the vacancy under discussion is good a package when viewed in the round. Unfortunately, some employers offer a basic wage with no benefits other than legal minimums and no ladder to climb in terms of pay. It is the basic wage for the rest of your days plus any annual rise that they decide to give you and absolutely no other benefit. Direct employment brings many things not least security. The market is bouyant at the moment and people will move around, and for the companys that are percieved to be poor employers they will suffer a shortage of applicants. Look at the constant adverts from one and you can figure out who that might be. If as rumoured one individual started on 39k recently then that proves my point about divide and rule. The 'starting salary' for them is very, very low 40s. It is not all about money, if it were then one could always get a job in a rubber suit but would that give any job satisfaction. Each to their own.
