Pros

Times of day so you can get things done, kids (mostly), I like the people I work with.

Cons

the hours I turned in got changed by managment and paycheck shorted, no vacation pay or paid sick days, got written up for not coming in when my son went in hospital even tho I gave notice, favoritism by management of some drivers and not others, bullying by managgment if you complane, they hate the union, they hate there job. The busses are really old and radio don't work.

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.
