Great culture but stagnant pay for years

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun, flexible, great company culture

Cons

There are no cost of living or tenure raises. The base pay for this job has been the same for 4 years — meaning someone with 4 years of experience in the role and someone hired yesterday earn the exact same salary
