What are the lowest starting and median wages of her employees at Dollywood?

Glassdoor says average pay is $14.90/hr. I don't know if it is trustworthy or not.

Yeah, at least halfish of her employees are struggling to live. As cheap as the midwest is generally, Pigeon Forge has high property values and high taxes. I know a couple of her employees, they have five people in a shitty two bedroom apartment.
