Willing to hire if you're a white male, but pay is insufficient

CEO approval

Pros

They were willing to hire me

Cons

Refused to pay enough to actually live. Functioned as hourly employees but were forced to work OT for free because of salaries. Anyone who wasn't a white man got extra rules and procedures and nitpicky grammar, etc thrown at them.
