The is nothing really positive to say about management. The bus drivers and monitors really work hard, but the support received is terrible.

Cons

Lousy pay, 20hr work week for many student drivers expensive medical insurance for lousy coverage lack of communication between management to staff. Management get paid in a different week from staff.
