Pros

Great if you like to drive.

Cons

If you get hired here, you will more than likely be sent not to the main terminal, but to the off site park-out. There are over 20 buses at site. There is also no electricity, building to keep drivers warm in the -30 winters, or a place to go to the washroom. Branch manager refuses to to put up facility. "Have to pee, don't drink coffee." There is also a large number of broken, faded, old buses. Safety only counts till it costs, most cases broken buses are down for months, and will often be scavenged of parts to keep less broken buses moving. There are also not enough spares in fleet to be used for runs as they are old and broken, or used for charters and not available to a stranded driver.
