First Student reviews

Not enough hours. You're guaranteed 5 hours per day. It's a split shift system, so you go into work in the morning, complete your morning runs, then come back in the afternoon for your second run. Anything over 5 hours is additional on top, paid at your hourly rate. But with $27.32 per hour, you only get about $130 per day, ultimately making your hourly rate around $17 if you don't have more work. Kids nowadays are incredibly disrespectful. It's very hard to have the troublemakers removed from your bus, partially due to the No Child Left Behind act. Keeping your bus clean can be pretty difficult. Call offs can be annoying, due to having to cover an unfamiliar route. Their dispatcher and manager team is decent at handling it, but typically what will happen is your route may get pushed to someone else, and you have to cover another route. They do pay you an immediate 1 hour rate plus anything extra after the one hour, but if they trash your bus, cleaning it is considered Non Revenue work, meaning you get paid around $11 per hour for that.
