Not entitled to a raise, ever?

Print is not even close to being dead but it is rapidly changing environment. Newspapers are dead.

Don't mind him, he doesn't even have an E-reader and insists on reading hard copy books only.

I think he was making that statement primarily in reference to newspapers anyways, so you guys agree.

No degree, but working towards it with the eventual goal of getting ChooPA

Makes more sense now, I've never heard of degreed accountants/CPA's not getting a raise ever. If the pay is better then her current position, it would be a good move. She can get an accounting degree/study for CPA exam while she's there, assuming that's what she wants to do for awhile. With out one, there will always be a glass ceiling no matter where she goes.

Read through the whole thread...if I were in that position and the OP states the experience is a good step up, I'd stay there 2 years max and move on. Definitely maximize whatever possible exposure she can get, like taking on some kind of projects she never had access to in order to gain the experience.

I also agree the 'entitled to raise' clause is definitely them protecting themselves, probably some kind past affirmative action lawsuit or whatever.

Exactly.

How large is this new company?

Sounds like a crazy, half-cocked way to ensure all their talented employees leave after they use this company as a career booster.

Best course of action is just to inherit her parent's accounts, IMHO.

So "entitled" is how it was explained to me at first, but basically it's just that no one below Director status gets raises ever.

The big problem as was brought out is trust. They didn't bring this up in the beginning, it was brought up on the 3rd day and they basically said if you want a pay check, sign this.

Shes most likely going to be looking for a new position.

That would be a resume generating event for me. I've never felt that I'm entitled to a raise, but I damn well expect one this year after having over $25million in pull through revenue. I've got another deal that may close tomorrow. It's my baby in that I pretty much got it off the ground. If the pilot gets approved that is another $5Million. I don't get commissions, so yea I had better be getting a raise and a hefty bonus or I'll be giving Dell, Cisco, or VMware a call..
