Oddly concerned and need some advice

So, I have been working at a company for almost 4 months. They offered me well above my requested starting salary. Now, after several raises I'm making nearly twice what I wanted as a starting salary. I looked online at national averages and I'm making higher than those, not by an excessive amount, but by about 10%. I'm mostly happy about my work.

Is something wrong here? Every job I've ever worked at before this has been a total dumpster fire of a company. I thought maybe it was because of the pandemic, but when I asked other employees about this who have worked for the company for years, some even 10+ years. They said it's how the company has always been.

I just feel like it's all gonna blow up and some major disaster is going to happen in my job. Am I just being paranoid?

Edit:. I'm in the USA.
