I am very sorry you had such a poor experience with our company. That department is a team of 5 and three of those employees currently have been with the company 5, 8, and 12 years respectively, most of that time in that department. I notice that it says you were with the company less than a year. We do have opportunities not only in that department (Junior Rep to Senior Rep, which comes with a raise) but in the company as well. In your first year you receive health benefits at 90 days, first raise at 6 months, and another raise with vacation days at 1 year. We also increased the amount of money the company pays of your health benefits this year, we fully pay for dental insurance, and have increased both vacation days, holiday days, and how quickly employees earn them. Our total compensation package has increased every year.
Unfortunately we don't start everyone at $15 an hour, but we also don't start people at minimum wage. Some people do feel they deserve more pay, and we don't disagree with that. But, we do believe that a person also needs to work hard at their job and show value to the company. It seems that is maybe where we diverged in each other's path.
We are certainly not everyone's "cup of tea" when it comes to a job, we do our best to treat everyone as fairly as we can, and we will continue to offer everyone a long term job with a good work/life balance. As a previous employee has written "You make it what it is".
I wish you the best in all your future endeavors, and thank you for your feedback.
