Pros

I do like the people I work with and work life balance

Cons

I am the only person of color on my team, and I get paid significantly less than my counterparts. I am also blamed for things that happened before I was even employed here, and every time I bring either of these issues up it is immediately dissmesed. Upper management has made it very clear that they do not like me. and I have been written up several times after the first time I asked to be paid the same as my counter parts. The worst part about the pay is that my coworkers who make more than I do still qualify for low income housing, and it seems like they give out money to others like no ones business. For example, one person on the senior leadership team got 2 pay increases this year alone for around 100,000 dollars in total
