Clicky Poll re: vacation time
I'm going in for a second interview today, and they only offer 2 weeks, non-negotiable. Grrr. It seems like a good opportunity, great pay, and the actual boss seems very flexible. He will let me work the hours I want (7:30-4:30), etc.
The last company I worked for, I had 4 weeks (plus 2 personal days & holidays & 6 sickdays). Every other company I have worked for starts off at 3. Just curious what your experience is.

2 weeks seem pretty standard to me. I have always started new jobs with 2 weeks vacation. That does not included sick time. In fact where I am now, the Executive VP started with 2 weeks as well, it is non negotiable.
Two weeks vacation and 5 days of sick/personal.
After 8 years I get 3 weeks :S
ETA: I am in love with your new siggy.
When I was working, I got 8 hours a month for vacation. After 6 months, I also got 8 hours a month for sick leave. I also had 13 or 14 holidays a year. Working for the government has it's perks...
After 5 years, I moved up to 9 hours a month for vacation and then 10 hours at 10 years.
I think 2 weeks is pretty standard. That is what my sister gets at her job.

At my current employer, employees are given 1 week paid vacation after they complete their 90 day probation period. I am considered management so I was given 2 weeks and then we get 2 personal days, 5 sick days and 6 paid holidays per year as well.
When I worked for the Four Seasons, I was receiving 4 wks paid vacation, 5 sick days and then paid holidays, but I was there for over 10 yrs. Their vacation structure was 1 wk upon hire, 2 wks after either 2 or 3 years, 3 wks after 5 years and 4 wks after 10 yrs of employment. You also received a specific amount of comp hotel room nights that you could use @ other hotel properties and how many nights you received per year was also based on tenure with the company.
Although, this was 4 yrs ago and I have no clue what their structure is like now since it is possible that changes have been made with the distressed economy. I think a lot of companies have cut in areas of vacation time and other benefits due to the economy and in order to minimize having to do layoffs or make other drastic changes.
My employer had an EXCELLENT PTO policy... they've since changed it for new employees since they realized they were way better than everyone else in the industry but we got to keep our PTO schedule
For the first 4 years, I got 4 weeks. 5-9 years, I get 5 weeks, and next year (when I hit 10 years!), I get 6 weeks!!!! That is vacation and sick time combined. We also get paid for 7 set company holidays and 3 floating holidays that we can use at anytime, for any reason. We used to get 10, but we have a lot of non-christians so they took away 3 and gave them to us for use at anytime (Good Friday was one of them).
thanks Jess
