      Pros

      Best training in the country! Training and fees paid by them. Flexible hours and time off. Wages are lower than average but not bad. Can work more if wanting. Summers off, weekends off, mid day off. Very good for parents who want to be home with your children. Management is welcoming, like one big family. Really enjoy coming to work most days.

      Cons

      Pay is lower than all other school bus drivers in California, possibly country. No benifits, Benifits offered cost your entire check. Some routes are only 4 hours a day. Union yard, means you pay union dues and get none of the traditional teamster benifits. Union is in active on this yard. Special treatment given to the "pets".
