Pros

If you enjoy working with children, and take seriously the responsibility of making sure that they are safety transported to and from school, then this is a very rewarding part-time job.

Cons

You have to be someone who enjoys getting up before sunrise in a variety of weather conditions; and it is a part-time job which makes it a little difficult to find an additional place of employment to make any additional income if needed.

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.
