"This company tends to underpay all its employees. Their reasoning is the economy is still really bad and it's going to continue to do so as long as, according to my supervisor, a black man from Kenya is in power. Those are not my words, but from the production manager said during my interview to be hired from an external job agency, not directly through them as the job posting claims."
