How much room is there after an offer? - 14 months and counting

I received an offer as a machine operator and I think the pay is a little low. The benefits are decent. Did it backfire?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I thanked them and said I was excited but hoped we could talk about the pay. They came back with a bit more.
