Smaller companies can't risk bad hires. You'll probably get very good pay raises if you are worth keeping.

Not necessarily, I took a job making peanuts out of college to get experience in the field I wanted to go in. Well after about 8 months of doing very well, my boss up and leaves for another opportunity. I get a promotion running the department and at that time I'm promised a tremendous raise. Well it comes time for them to give me the raise they promised and they gave me less than a 1K raise. I promptly intensified my search for a new job just so I could get the hell out of there.
