The rational thing to do with any job is to first figure out what revenue to profit ratio is for the business. If there's a large profit margin and you're getting low pay, demand a raise. If you're refused a raise, talk to the other employees about the situation and then, if they agree, walk in to see the boss and demand a raise together.
As companies get larger this gets more difficult and retaliation becomes more common and you get layers of middle managers between owners and workers. That's why there's this big push to unionize at Amazon, it's the only way they can get pay comparable to that of auto workers before neoliberal globalization and moving the factories from the Rust Belt to Mexico. (In today's economy, that would be $30 / hr entry or so).
