I'm currently temp-to-hire, hopefully close to the hire part. I've recently found out that while most of the benefits at the company are really good, they only give one week vacation time per year for the first five years. Is this normal now? I know by Euro standards, it's pathetic, but doing customer service before college, we still got two weeks after a year.
Am I rocking the boat too much if I insist on two weeks if hired? I don't want to put myself over co-workers, but my position is one that requires a tech degree and experience, and I'd rather the extra week over demanding an extra 10% pay or whatever it is I'm supposed to haggle on during the hire process.

One week is a little low, yeah. But if that's what everyone else is getting, maybe decided to pay for better benefits than give you more vacation.
Feel free to ask for another week, it won't hurt anything, but do it politely.
