I'm not sure many new hires are going to be that concerned with the vestment period. I didn't know about it until whatever day in Indoc. Pay, domiciles and upgrade times should be top priority to keep people interested. A longer vestment period on the 401k could be "insurance" for the company as they can use that money to fund the training for new FOs due to attrition.

Pretty sure I did 1% contribution for the entire time I was at NK because I couldn't afford any more!
