Pros

Convenient work schedule and off for the summer. This job gives you a lot of free time to ventur into other things.

Cons

No advancement. A lot of unemployment. There are a lot of safety meetings that are exactly the same as the year before. Drivers can rarely give feeback to the schoolboards and help with the routing.

Pros

The pay for driving is good, however, "driving is only part of the job description. May be well compensated for contracted substitute driver in other locations

Cons

Although there are rules to establish safe, orderly environments for riders and drivers, they are not enforced, and appear symbolic and subjective. Drivers have to bow to whomever decides how it will be handled instead of what the actual rules dictate, creating unnecessary chaos. There also appears to be a good amount of favoritism at this location and company rules and regulations are rarely enforced across the board, resulting in employees doing as they please with little to no repercussions.
