Pros

Pay is fine, benefits are okay, onsite clinic is nice to have.

Cons

Woefully under-resourced admin. Hard to grow a career here, there aren't many steps upward. No understanding of technology needs. Management is actively hostile toward riders, vanishingly rare to see leadership actually ride the bus, love to throw law enforcement at problems. Employees are retained in the same way that a bear trap retains a bear. Vendors run amok, breaking contracts constantly with no accountability, leading to a smothering amount of work for admin staff. Arcane HR policies, no work from home, completely bungled return to office plan. No desire to innovate, refusal to acknowledge the very real, very simple problems internally. No department will take any responsibility for anything, it is always Someone Else's Problem. New HQ is not transit accessible, admin forced to move to new location for no good reason at all. People are good, generally, management is woefully incompetent at best, actively hostile to bettering transit at worst. No company culture of improvement or of actually using transit whatsoever, lots of executive level leadership don't even live in Marion County. Very little understanding of how bus operations actually affect passenger experience, and very little momentum to make passenger experience better. Lots of process evaluations based around blaming individuals for underperformance, rather than on improving processes themselves. Good place to get experience under a title, but don't expect to stay very long. Employees turn over more often than a cat in a sunbeam.

Pros

Start you with your CDL-B's, great training, great benefits, great opportunities to get hours, can have control over your pay, weekly pay, support through the whole hiring process/during your first year, discounts and benefits that come with the company, $450 yearly stipend for uniforms

Cons

Low tolerance for attendance issues, low tolerance for mistakes, low tolerance (because they legally have to) for any substance abuse/failed drug tests/accidents, still be careful of who you talk to (petty people are everywhere), keep your business to yourself, YOU NEED A GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM TO GET TO WORK FOR AT LEAST YOUR FIRST YEAR...they are NOT flexible. I won't say they "don't" care, they just can't. Sick kid, car won't start, flat tire, etc. Too many people want that job and those buses need to be where they're supposed to be. You have to commit.
