First Student reviews

Again, making a positive experience for children can be very challenging from the position of bus driver. Everyone is potentially your enemy-the students, the teachers, the parents, policemen, other drivers, etc. It is generally a thankless job. My experience entailed driving two autistic children to and from school. They themselves were a small challenge, but meaningful. The hardships came primarily from the district, the politics that place the driver between a rock and a harder place, and in once case an officer who had nothing better to do than harrass a bus driver. First student as a company did not inspire me to continue working for them, though rumor has it there are worse companies to drive for. Given the level of responsibility the pay is rather low, however the requirements are also low: clean driving record, pass drug tests, show up on time. First student is owned and operated by a company in the UK.

Don't get paid enough. All branches around us get paid more then we do. The family needs to be taken under control and made to have the same options as all other workers not special treatment.Management needs to find out what is going on and do something about it. Need to make changes in who is in charge there.
