Pros

This group is more like a big family than a job. Brandon, (Location Manager), and Linette (Asst. Manager) are amazing to work for, they will do anything to help out and it isn’t out of the norm to see Brandon out washing busses, both of them driving routes and always helping with questions or issues that arise.i loved this job, so much, I had to take care of personal issues and my health, but will always feel thankful to this job for taking care of me and giving me the opportunity to work with them.

Cons

Zero. I can not think of one negative thing.

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.
