Pros

Paid training to get a commercial class B driver's license, and you'll become a good driver in a short time. Almost everybody at this company is friendly, including trainers, drivers, and upper management. It's a union job, and the benefits are very good. If you can handle the long hours, you'll be making good money in a couple years. And- driving a huge bus isn't difficult and can even be fun! I couldn't believe a 12-hour shift could seemingly pass by so quickly.

Cons

Overtime is mandatory, and the regular shifts are long. 10 to 12 hours, 5 days a week. So you're looking at a 6-day workweek. It makes for a decent paycheck, but not much free time.

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.
