Pros

The Training and that is it.

Cons

The dispatch in both East Hartford and Bloomfield needs to learn the proper way to handle thier drivers. Rude loud and disrespectful. The pay if they could at least get that righ every week instead of screwing it up all the time and paying what is owed instead of the employees having to fill out slips just to get papid on some card. the favortism is a shame people who the dispatch likes gets all the work.

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.
