Starting pay for associates will be cut from $145,000 to $130,000 in Atlanta and North Carolina, and from $160,000 to $145,000 in New York and Washington DC.
The pay cuts reverse salary increases made in the beginning of 2008. They affect all 200 US associates, except a few first years. And associates can offset the salary decrease by earning bonuses.
