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

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Great and kind staff to work with. My team is wonderful

Cons

Salary not competing with inflation and is not competitive especially for the Boston area. On my salary I cannot afford to live close to my work. The "merit" increases this year were laughable - not competing with inflation nor cost of living.
