Pros

They are a charter company, you are entitled to unemployment in the off season, but you have to fight for it.

Cons

There are too many policies. There is a policy for driving, walking on the lot, walking in the parking lot, while on the job, while waiting in between shifts..........

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.
