Also, do real organized criminals usually treat their incredibly deadly killers like shit? I mean, normally you'd think if someone was amazing at killing people you'd want to give them motivation not to do that to you. Even if someone's a low status immigrant, being extremely dangerous usually buys some respect and perks.
I think (without first-hand experience, of course) that this depends on the type of the hiring organization. If it's a government agency using black ops to hire disposable assets to clean up the town, then they would immediately burn her as soon as there is a chance she may turn coat or get exposed. In fact, that is probably their planned endgame for her, anyway, and the only reason why she is still alive is that she is so good at her job.
From what I know about criminal organizations, their inherent in-group loyalty serves as a protective social mechanism in lieu of the rule of law that civil organizations can rely on, and it is often expressed as intense chauvinism preventing outsiders, such as recent refugees, from attaining any kind of status within the organization. They tend to start off as small ethnically homogeneous gangs and to only hire locals into full positions (kind of like the Mafia only accepts ethnic Sicilians and/or Italians as full members). As a criminal organization grows, they can start hiring associates, but these are entirely disposable and only told what they need to know in case they get flipped by law enforcement or go rogue.
In other words, unless she joins or forms an ethnic Slavic (I assume) gang in the city that isn't immediately wiped out by the competition, being treated like dirt is her only option. Or quitting, but that is incredibly hard with her record.
