Explanation
For the first word you want something like “non-salary rewards,” and the only word that means that is perquisites (often informally abbreviated as “perks”). The word but tells you that Anne did not leave for a larger salary, but stayed for the perquisites. For the second word you want something like “stay,” and only abide can have that meaning. (Abide more commonly means “tolerate” or “wait for.”)
Perquisites, abide.

Why not disincentives for the blank one?
But the distinctiveness, as ample vacation persuaded her to stay.

Hi!
Disincentives is completely opposite of what we need. We actually need something like incentives as because of these she choose to stay in the organization.
Hope this helps!
