Someone should post this to anti-work. Perfect for a college student yet must be "experienced" and a wage that won't cover the price of eggs and milk for a VERY labor intensive job. Makes me angry. If you can't afford to pay your staff a living wage, you can't afford your business.

Wouldn’t even get out of bed for that

$13.50 an hour, plus experience needed? No wonder you can’t find anyone.

It begins feb 13th :) and has 8 classes

Only been to Hippos so far and they were pretty affordable, professional, organized, no hassle at all.

Oklahoma school of the deaf if doing a free online course for ASL I and II. It’s completely at your own pace and online.

Bro you are advertising this on Reddit? This seems like a horrible job

I use to live off of mt Vernon and scenic and it wasn’t terrible for the neighborhood. I think there were a few shootings and a murder down the street though but that’s kind of normal for anywhere in Springfield honestly. As a single woman I never felt unsafe and my neighbor was nice. I also lived off Atlantic and Kansas a few years ago and there was a drive by shooting in front of our house and I think our house was hit and I definitely felt unsafe there. Not to mention there was always strange people walking around and looking into houses.

Approximately $27,000 annually if you work full time, excluding taxes and benefits.

Edit for those of you that didn’t know: $1 per hour roughly equates to $2000 gross annual earnings when working a 40 hour week. Definitely makes some of the hourly wages look abhorrent when looking at jobs.

Anybody else's mediacom out?

$13.50 to start. It's a flexible schedule, great for college students. Looking for people with experience. Must be dependable!!

It's when a wage prefer wages of the opposite sex. As opposed to wages that prefer other wages of the same sex.

What is the straight wage?

Lived by West Bypass and Nichols for a little bit about 4 years ago. And then off Page and Scenic for a bit before that. It was fine. Quiet for the most part. Had one crazy neighbor but they were the exception not the norm.

I was getting ready to say this! Hot and fresh and they are super friendly in there too. Not bad prices and good portions. Tiny place but worth a little drive.

I’m with you. I don’t think it’s overly expensive either.

Agreed!! They have good everything

In Marshfield, there is a good truck called Tokyo and they make the very best burgers. Worth the drive.

Love around there. Our street is quiet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you me?

Kinda terrible list

CE is expensive but the quality of their roasts is very high. I’ve always felt like I’m getting my money’s worth.

If you’re looking flavored or latte drinks Mudhouse is fantastic. But if you’re like me and a huge nerd/fan of single origin light roast, CE is by far the best options. And tbh, they’re not as expensive as other third-wave shops in other cities.

I lived on Elm Arcade. A meth head tried to abduct my toddler through a crack in our front door, the second night we lived in the duplex. I opened the door a crack and she was standing there. Asked a bunch of questions about my kid, then tried to get my kid to come to her. We had to purchase a shot gun and an aluminum baseball bat. After this incident, a couple days later, my wife was home with my daughter and had to go get the gun to get the meth head and her boyfriend away from our duplex. They wouldn’t quit trying to talk to her, and she just wanted to leave the house safely. They refused to back up off our porch, so she let them know. They finally moved out within that month. The crackheads behind us were in the process of being evicted (found this out from the owner, who stopped by one afternoon to ask about who had been in the house and stolen tools and broken the fence). They came at night and started big ass fires to sit by. They had the FD by there more than once to put the fire out. The old lady who lived 2 doors down from us was a heroin addict who moved dudes in and out of her place. We work in healthcare and she knew that. One of her boy toys OD on heroin. We gave CPR and narcan. Two weeks later, same dude does the same thing. We administer CPR and narcan. Drains weren’t draining, contacted the landlord. Landlord’s plumber says there were drugs and needles clogging the line that runs from all the duplexes. We assume they tried to dispose of the drugs after the second OD, thinking we would call the cops. But they refused 911, so we never called. Had some dude with a black covering over his head run up to me while I was smoking a cigarette on my porch and tell me he was running from the cops, could he have a cigarette. I told him no and to get the fuck off my porch. He took off running. Still don’t know if he was actually running from the cops. All of this happened from mid-December 2022 through mid-May 2022, when we finally had enough and moved to Ozark.
Stray cats and dogs. SNAKES. The neighborhood roads don’t seem to be taken care of as well as others in the city. Takes forever to get to a highway, or to anywhere, really, due to location. The neighbors we had that weren’t crackheads mostly stayed to themselves. They would wave rarely, but otherwise left everyone else alone. A neighbor at the end of the road stopped us while we were on a family walk one afternoon to talk, but she was really nice. You just gotta be choosy and be prepared to protect yourself, even on the Southside of Springfield, or anywhere. Make sure you keep your doors and windows locked when you’re not at home, and even when you are. We installed an extra lock on our door when we lived on Elm Arcade, after the whole attempting to steal my kid thing happened. Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure your porch light is on, always, and is a bright light. Get an anti theft system in your car and do routine checks. I know that sounds paranoid, but you’ll be grateful when you notice that someone backed into your car sometime overnight and left marks if you’re walking around your car often. Be prepared to get in your car when you walk out of your door - keys in hand, no distractions. It depends a lot on the location in West Central. Some streets are alright, but they get a little of the spillover when shit goes real bad on another close street. Some streets avoid like the plague. Some streets only be on during the day. My advice is to drive the area during the day, during the evening, and after midnight. Do it on weekdays and weekends. Observe. See if people are at home in bed, expecting to work tomorrow, or if there are a lot of lights on with people up at 3AM with nothing to do. See if vehicles are left running at 3AM, waiting for someone to go to work. See if people are out walking their pets, or are out with their kids. With the exception of Elm Arcade (due to circumstances) everywhere I have ever lived, I have scoped the area out for a few weeks before deciding if I want to live there. So far, I’ve been able to keep myself and my family safe doing that. But really, use common sense! :) and good luck finding something beautiful!! I hope it works out for you.

I'd conceed overpriced. I think their black coffee is better, but Mudhouse does things like lattes better. IMO it's hard to qualify coffee shops because you can have so many different things on the menu.

My last rental was over there. Lots of transients. Things were stolen off my porch constantly! People cutting through my back yard and just general tweaker activity. I moved as quickly as I could.

However, I will say that the neighbors were all tweakers and most of that foot traffic was because of them. They were selling drugs out of the house, so I can't speak for that ENTIRE area.
