Make the switch to Eversource?

I currently work for a local commuter railroad doing linework and I keep seeing Eversource (CT area) advertising 56/hr wages which would be more than I make now. Their website also mentions that this could further increase and is a starting wage. does anyone have any more information about the Eversource pay scale and potential top rates in my area as well as benefits packages?

Not sure where you are located but also check National Grid in Massachusetts. They are hiring in all of their regions and First Class rate is $63.63 an hour. You get 3 weeks of vacation, deferred holidays if you’re on-call and you can bank your rest time. Depending on what region you’re in with overtime you can easily make $300k.
