What do you think? Is 16.64/hour, full time decent for this position?

Question

I also have 180 hours PTO a year and total health coverage benefits. I work at a group home for people with developmental disabilities in So. California. I am a 32 year old married female with a Bachelor's degree and 5 years experience in the field. The 2 previous years my raises have been 7%, this past week, I got my three year review and got a 4%! Does this sound like okay compensation for this type of work? Or am I getting shafted...

Answer 1

sounds decent to me

Answer 2

You really have to research your field to find out if you're getting paid decently. But with a bachelor's degree, I would want to get paid $20+ /hour. $16 seems a bit low for a college graduate.

Answer 3

shafted but the job market is c**p right now :-(

Answer 4

You are making more than me! Think about how the economy is right now, you are lucky to have a job as there are many people out of work. But if you are unhappy look somewhere else and see what they are getting paid. Good Luck!

Answer 5

You are definitely getting shafted, come on I worked for FedEx with only a high school Diploma & was making close to $18.00. I know you can find better employment that suits your experince & education. Good Luck on your Future Endeavors
