Could be due to a few things =O How long have you worked there? Are you still a "trainee"? Some places don't give nice pay raises until you hit the 6-12 month-mark (showing you're worth it, basically). Another reason could be good benefits. If your bank has awesome benefits (401k, health, dental, time off, etc) then maybe they're giving you less pay than the market average simply because they're balancing things. One company I applied at last year gave people an ungodly sort of pay, but the time off and benefits were atrocious.
My brother is making an obscene amount of cash, but his company only matches, like, 1% of 401k. Something really pissant like that =(

About a year, and I'm not exactly a trainee anymore. I was running support for all 16 branches solo just 2 months after working there, dealing with server crashes, and all sorts of other fun things. I even won an award. But they still haven't said anything about bumping me up to what I should be getting paid. Plus looking at other jobs in the area I qualify for I can make an extra 4 to 7 bucks an hour.
The bank does have decent benefits though. 88 hours vacation time, 10 paid holidays a year, 10 paid sickdays a year, and 3 personal days and a birthday floater, along with medical, dental and vision. But if the other two people doing the same thing as me are making 10+ more than me when I do a majority of the work by myself while they look up recipes online I'd rather find a job closer and one that doesn't force me to commute through traffic every day.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
