alot of companies expect effective performance. Nevertheless, it considers its employees as they are beginners (salary, ....).

He want to say:

if you consider me as a Junior , you find me a Junior , That it means : Don't expect from me to perfect tasks of Senior .

And, if you consider me as an expert , you will find me an expert :

Is there a proverb means that ?

UPDATE:

the employer concentrate on experience .Indeed , he thought that "An expert is one who has worked for many years" . However ,It is not always so . you can find someone who has worked for a few years, but he is gifted .

It is not an issue of Salary , But It is a psychological issue that can negatively affect the performance of this gifted worker .

He expects an appreciation befitting his skills

    There's a term to cover this situation: a self-fulfilling prophecy. 'Mud sticks' can have the meaning asked for. Commented May 13, 2014 at 9:47

This is an interesting issue on job motivation and expectations.

I think you could say that that your employer will get what he deserves by keeping expectations lows failing to motivate his employees. If he treats you and pays you as a Junior, he is probably likely to receive that standard of performance by you.

    I see, I think that in the end he will still 'get what he deserves' because he is trying to take advance of your skills, a very common problem in the job market, in the sense that either you will be demotivated or will leave the company.

I'm not sure of how well an employer would take it, but the proverb 'You get what you pay for' conveys what I think it is you want to say:

In commercial transactions, the quality of goods and services increases as the prices increase, i.e., the more one pays, the better the merchandise.

Consider the idiomatic get/have what's coming to one.

what's coming to one: what one deserves.
