Benefits, once out, will change take home. Taxes have already had their way with the amount. It really hurts the beginning workers.
Tax deductions don’t start to help until April 15 the next year.
Those supporting others don’t do well.
Some get increases help at the yearly, the end probationary period, or # of months evaluation.
There would be night-time differential, which helps. (usually 3D shift) for stocking.
That is why many/most use these positions operate as a supplimental incomes. spousal family additional income, moonlighting, boosting retirement amounts, etc.

It’s so hard. I feel bad for those who so desperately need every penny.
