AGE changed their rookie payout structure earlier this year. I'm not certain about all the details since I'm not a rookie but it goes something like this:

Now they pay the agreed upon starting salary for a decent period of time (like 9 months) then it drops to 75%. 

From there it drops by 25% each quarter until the 2nd year anniversary where you will be on 100% commission (40% payout)

There are bonus incentives the first year and an enhanced payout of 55% but I don't know how long they pay you that.

Like I said it goes something like this but you can get the details on the details on their website.
