Pros

The pros are working outside all day and seeing a city in a way you never seen it before. Helping kids and belonging to a community. If you're a natural driver and love driving and kids this is the job for you. If you like being outside and being independent this is for you.

Cons

You're out in the snow, the busses are kept outside. The kids don't respect you alot of the time and some do. You're responsible for between 4 to 70 kids at a time and while you're driving. The parents can be rude at times.

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.
