Pros

The hours work well for attending college, plenty of time inbetween routes to attend classes and do homework. And on charters they basically pay you to sit and do homework. Fellow drivers are friendly and helpful. Always ready to joke and laugh with you, and also willing to help you work through issues on your bus. Management is very approachable, willing to listen, and actually cares about their employees.

Cons

Because it's part-time work getting enough hours to really support yourself or a family is difficult. Early morning hours. Working from 6:30-9:00am and then from 2:30-5:00pm is a bit of a weird schedule.

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.
