Pros

I love the kids I work with, the hours are nice if you are going to school. They do pay for licensing and everything that's involved with maintaining the federal and state requirements.

Cons

The company is never staffed fully so it's incredibly stressful all the time. The drivers are rarely backed up by management, when the school personnel decide that they don't like a driver for whatever reason the driver loses that route, or their job. There is no possibility for promotions or upward movement--unless you want to move out of state.
