GOOD LUCK buddy. There's no laws, rules unless you have it in your contract when you sign with the company that you are getting / expecting a pay increase after a certain number of months.

I don't care if you're young, does 40 hours of overtime a week, always on time, works 10X harder than your co-worker... you're still a NOBODY but a number.

It's harsh my friend, but wait till you work in a union environment or when you have been in a job for over 10 years and all you get is a stupid "10 yr recognition" pen along with a pat on your back.

If you're not happy, quit. If you want to complain and get a raise cause you work hard, it's really called "you're doing your job".

This isn't directed at you but I have people say they "expect" a raise every yr, or a new title every year. I"m like. you're 26, you're earning 20 bucks an hour, a dollar raise a year is $2000 to your paycheck. From a sale's perspective, you better be generating additional 200,000 of revenue or 20,000 worth of profits to justify. If you get a raise every yr when you're 26, by the time you retire, you'll earn 50 bucks an hour? That's 100k.
