Pros

Great entry level job experience; Learning opportunities

Cons

Advancement and responsibility increases do not equal higher pay (I only make a little more than $3,000 than my new hire with 0 years of experience vs my current 10 and being a lead engineer while my older team members are making >$20,000 less).

Expectations continue to increase with emphasis on “doing more with less.”

Management does not care about fair compensation but preaches a “don’t compare your salaries or you’ll always be unhappy” attitude.

Advice to Management

Focus more on retaining knowledge and compensate that knowledge rather than expect others to be happy about being severely underpaid while new employees are making $20,000+ more than their trainers.
