Pros

Able to work outside. OT available. Passengers are best part of your day. Non-office job where bosses are not hovering over your shoulder. Pay is OK and will pay your bills. Fleet is well maintained.

Cons

High Stress, High turnover, High union dues. Mgmt does not communicate with employees. General Manager is almost never seen by drivers. Drivers not given feedback on ideas or concerns. Dispatch treats drivers like dogs. No inter-dept communication. Written up at the drop of a hat. Very low morale among all departments. Extremely low morale among drivers.
