poor social life, can never plan a weekend as you can get caught for shift on the day or 24 hours before hand. a few management staff dont show enough respect towards staff. dont get the benefits that drivers get money is not good enough for the hours you have to work

Pros

Good job security, decent pay compared to many industries, strong driving experience, interaction with the public, and good camaraderie among many fellow drivers. Pension and benefits are better than many private sector driving jobs.

Cons

Shift patterns can have a major impact on work life balance and sleep. In my experience, morale among drivers is often low. There can be a culture of micromanagement, and many staff feel unappreciated despite carrying significant responsibility for passenger safety. Communication between frontline staff and management can sometimes feel disconnected, and operational pressures can create a stressful working environment.

Pros

Weekly pay Free doctor Free travel pass Education program

Cons

It is IMPOSSIBLE to progress further as an engineering operative. The only step up is going on the shift or nights; everything else is impossible to get to without some sort of nepotism.
