Pros

Decent pay for part time work. Can pick up more hours if desired. Great for parents, you can bring your kids on the bus with you, when kids are off so are you.

Cons

Office is very busy so difficult to get issues resolved, also because of that errors are often made in payroll, so have to keep a close eye on your hours. paperwork handed in disappears & doesn't have a designated place to go. Company seems more interested in profits. Routing program used is not conducive for bus 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.
