Pros

Employees are the best part of the company. Great people, committed to their job and all about doing what is best for the company and customers.

Cons

Executive management has their heads in the sand. They are a bunch of Taxi people running a mega transportation company with no clue how to compete with the likes of Uber and the evolving transportation marketplace. They are all about friends and family hiring and as they downsize due to earnings evaporating due to their arrogance, quality people are let go in favor of the inside group. Promotions are rare, pay is substandard and the respect for the individual is lower than the morale. I would avoid this place, the future is not bright as long as the current executive team is in place. Their thinking, "if it worked in 1984 it should work in 2016" and "Uber is just a fad"

Pros

Pay is decent, plenty of opportunity for over time. Management is decent most of the time. Opportunities for advancement and to work at other sights when work is down

Cons

University holidays, breaks, and summer semester create a lot of financial hardships because those days are unpaid. After a year you get a week of PTO. No sick leave. They have a very strict point system. If you call out or leave early you lose points. 2 points per call out. They do not accept doctors notes. If you miss 5 days you're out of a job. The union helps but they have been more focused on pay increases when their is so much wrong. You are not only monitored by AI on the bus along with cameras but also have supervisors onsight that heavily enforce protocol in a way that makes the job highly stressful. You get pulled to the carpet over the most minor stuff. All of this has been from my perspective as driver. Their are better places out there in the industry but for this area you feel the safest here. If you can stomach all of this then try to advance as soon as you can. It gets much more flexible once you are in the office or become a supervisor.
