The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Also, employees have some app installed in their virtual machines which tracks the duration for which they were logged in.
