How does this sound to y'all?

First off, I was taught to never ask for a raise. You'll get one when you've earned it.

Second, she needs to give it some time. Owners/management like to see if their decisions will pay off. If she's doing her job well, I'd imagine that raise will come in short time. If after a few months, I'd look elsewhere if she's not that tight with the company.

^This right here. This is a new role for her and she may not do the job as well as the others, especially at first. If she does well, she'll get the raise. It's that simple.

If she likes her job (employer), I'd tell her to sit tight for a few months and prove to them that she can handle the job, hopefully as good or better than the current coordinators.

After she proves herself, then she should go in and question them about the position vs. pay; especially since the company posts the pay ranges for all to see.

I've had much better luck going in with hard evidence, to prove a point, in situations like this. If she goes in guns-a-blazin, right off the bat, they might just send her home.

Best advice so far.

I'll also add the times I've tired to tell my wife how to fix her employment issues have not turned out well for me.

That sounds like everywhere I have worked in my lifetime. Do more work for the same amount of money. And if they see you can handle it they will pile more on for a very little raise.Working for someone else they can do as they please.

Unfortunately its not all that uncommon now. I've been rated the highest rating 2-3 years in a row (I got to walk through my rating with my manager this time, we'll see whathe submits), was told after the first year that I'd probably never get that rating again because it's rare , taken on the responsibility of my direct manager when he went to a different product, produced one of the few things we have with the least amount of knocks against it for quality, have beenverbally told im underpaid, higher level management delayed my promotion, im still not promited to the level of actual responsibilities i have because it would mean they'd have to pay me that, and balked at me even suggesting that i should be promoted two levels even though it went out with my manager's recommendation. I originally was okay with all that because of flexibility I had, but the more responsibility I have, the less flexibility I have. I spent 10 hours today fixing stuff because the guy who's supposed to be reprising my higher responsibilities didn't do his job, causing us to be 2 weeks behind with no stop in sight.
Bottomline: stuff sucks sometimes when you're not the one in control. Weigh your options. In my situation, regardless of performance, HR has us slowly move on a time scale regardless of performance. Doesn't mean its right, but it's not illegal.

Take the promotion and prove to them how valuable you are to the company. If after a year they don't recognize your effort with a pay raise, you will have gained valuable experience and knowledge then find an employer who will appreciate and pay you fairly.
