Refuse to even acknowledge how underpaid the employees are. Several people have left and have told them the mood of the employees and what it would take to stop having employees drop like flies... yet they have done and said nothing for the existing employees. The company was recently bought by a PE firm and ever since there are more and more things that point to a lack of concern/care for the employees and more ways to line the pockets of upper management. They don't care if you're underpaid, overworked, or don't have a work-life balance. They are trying to make the company look the best they can so they can turn around and sell it to the next PE firm.
Not worth it to move to the middle of nowhere Texas, work under people who aren't willing to do anything for you, and be paid 60% of your actual work value. You will be talked about behind your back while having no idea that there is even an issue.
Do yourself a favor and keep looking, this isn't it.
