Would you take this job? Why or why not?
What’s the biggest appealβ€”or dealbreakerβ€”for you?

Drop your thoughts below!

Pay not listed, β€” at least confirm they’re in that $35–$45/hr lane and what the storm rate is, because in Little Rock you’ll live on β€˜emergency call-outs’… I keep a go-bag in the truck (dry socks, spare headlamp, arc-rated rain gear) and it’s saved me on 2 a.m. ice jobs; also ask how the standby rotation works and if there’s per diem on storms. If you’re good with that pace it’s a solid gig β€” do they let you take the bucket home?
