Decent starter job - Universal Banker Truist Employee Review

Pay for seasons employees at the branch level is not great. Been there 10 years and always have great annual reviews, am told a valuable part of team, always goes above and beyond to help customers and employees. Yet I make less than $1 more an hour then a new hire. Manager has tried to give better raises but at the branch level it really doesn’t get there. I don’t have debt but still paycheck to paycheck after medical premiums and taxes are taken out, then rent, utilities, groceries, etc.
