It's a terrible place to work. Low wages, toxic and abusive employers, zero labor laws to protect employees.

I left NC for an identical job in CT. My base salary went up over 50%, my workload reduced 20%, and I have a Union that has already proven their chops to stop attempts at management from screwing employees.

It's a beautiful state, with very small minded people. If you aren't a hetero, cis white male conservative Christian - WASPs only (and no, Catholics aren't Christians by their standards), you are an outsider and will be treated as such.

Many, many people that I have seen move from other areas to NC ended up leaving after some time because it just doesn't fit their cultural/worldviews.
