...start salary when done? I was just hired into a company a couple of days ago. When I was applying for the job online, the compensation for the job read "Competitive Base Salary Plus Benefit Plan". The job is for a Web Designer, but they said they are going to start me at 10/hr doing "monotonous work" for the 90 day probation period. They told me after the 90 days I will have a pay increase and I will move to actually designing websites. Their health plan is awesome with full 100% coverage but that just means that it's going to be a little more expensive. Is it common to start an employee at a 10/hr and then price the individual for salary after the probationary period, or do you think I'm going to be working a hourly wage at this company?
 
It's legal. I've never encountered it, but I'm not sure if it is common or not.

If you're entry level, it might be worth doing. Otherwise I'd pass.
