Pros

most drivers are cool safety is first

Cons

The drivers just got a nice new union agreement with a major raise and pension. Now me being management and non union I got laid off. This happened 2 weeks before I was do my yearly bonus of 10% of my annual income which is about 10k. They did this on purpose and will not give me my bonus. Im angry and bitter.

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.
