Would You Take This Job?

Atelier 4’s solid, but $25–28 in LIC is tight unless there’s steady OT — this is early mornings, stairs, and white-glove stress. I’d take it to break into art handling, but I’d want clarity on OT rate, benefits, and whether all load/drive/traffic time is on the clock.
Atelier 4 has a decent rep, but $25–$28 in LIC feels tight unless there’s steady OT and solid benefits. Non‑CDL art handling is early mornings, stairs, and high‑pressure installs, so I’d only bite with real training and time‑and‑a‑half OT. Do they list benefits and typical weekly hours?
$25–28 in LIC for art handling’s decent for entry, but you’re juggling white‑glove installs, stairs, tight elevators, and NYC traffic, so I’d want real OT, solid benefits, and paid training. Non‑CDL’s fine, but if you’re in an 18’ around the city you need a team that doesn’t cut corners and covers DOT med card, uniforms, and day rate if you’re stuck waiting. Do they pay per diem and offer time-and-a-half after 8?
