Do they think they can take advantage of me

I stated this new job. I thought was going to be super supportive and be a positive place to work ( I know, what you’re thinking and no sarcastic comments please) But I’m thinking they think I’m desperate. I took the job without thinking about it, it’s full time, I told them that I had 3 years of experience in optical. So I would like to at least get a wage of $17 or $18 per hour.

Then yesterday, I was told I need to pre test alone. Which I told them. I have no experience of pre testing. Which I said in the interview. I just was able to sell glasses, do measurements, transcribe the rx into lenses.

Do you think they are finding ways to take advantage of me because I don’t really speak up for myself?
