Pros

Your schedule only stays the same for 3 months, and depending on your seniority your weekly schedule usually has different routes in it. So there's not really time to get bored with what you're doing day to day. Sometimes you get to know the people who ride the bus every day on your route and that makes it a friendlier place to work.

Cons

Dealing with some of the more "colorful" people can be trying. Homeless, un-hygenic (I know that's not really a word), drunks and other substance abusers are just a few. We can't do anything about them unless they break a "rule" or cause a disturbance and ask them to leave the bus. It's sad, but the AC is recirculating air and can quickly stink up the bus and everyone pays for it.

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.
