While I believe bonus structures to be a key component of successful compensation plans, if current employees are generally happy with the existing comp plan and are hitting performance goals there may not be the need to add another layer to the comp plan.

When seeking a career as you come out of school or making a job change, always take the job that looks like it will be the most enjoyable. Try to think of your life in phases so you can avoid a burn-out.

This gives you the ability to DO what comes your way in support of your reaching those goals. The result is that you can have those goals at which you are aiming. The goal may be accomplished but at what expense.
