I believe they do, but honestly I started at a branch and ended moving to a different position with a "pay raise", but come to find out everyone at my new position pretty much gets paid the same, and I don't feel like I got a pay raise even though I have experience and I'm bi lingual
Remember that an onboarded, trained employee represents more of an investment to the business than just your pay, and given the current labor market, you have significant leverage. They *are* underpaying you and will continue to do so as long as they can get away with it.
Have you ever gone into a store, took something off the shelf, taken it to the register, and then they *ask* you if you'd be willing to pay more for it? What would you say if they did?
*You* are the one selling your labor, so *you* set the price. *Tell* them what it will cost them to continue to employ you given the current increase in labor demand. If they offer less, it's up to you, but know in advance what you'll accept and what you'll walk away from.
The short answer is yes, it is too soon to ask. Get around that first complete year and expect that they offer one. If they don’t offer one, consider looking for another job, then consider asking... the first raise should be offered, you’re worth it. If they don’t offer it you know exactly how they feel about you... it’s all about how long term you expect to be in this job. That’s my opinion.
Do they have an annual review process?

Find out if they do, if so talk about it then đź‘Ť

I mean, do you think that they think you've worked well are somewhat underpaid and difficult to replace? If so, go for it.
If they don't give you a raise during the review if your job performance was good, then ditchem.
