Pros

I loved my job! I worked at the Dalton, GA location for over 7 years and loved most of it! Anita is a great manager and works with you as long as you are working with her. Great staff, great people to work with. Robby is hilarious! Bob is the comedian mechanic! Loved the children and will really miss them!

Cons

Issues with the way the company used to pay were resolved last year. Not back paid once corrected, but there again I didn't ask. Main Cons with driving a bus is the split shift and not enough hours to afford insurance. Buses don't have air conditioning unless it's for special needs students. Other than that I loved it!

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.
