Pros

Family friendly company Coworkers for the most part are great to work with. Dispatchers are friendly

Cons

Not enough in the budget to fix buses properly. Some days can be really hectic when they let to many people have the day off. Not enough pay to balance out all the days we don't work. Make sure you have a second job.

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.
