      Pros

      This group is more like a big family than a job. Brandon, (Location Manager), and Linette (Asst. Manager) are amazing to work for, they will do anything to help out and it isn’t out of the norm to see Brandon out washing busses, both of them driving routes and always helping with questions or issues that arise.i loved this job, so much, I had to take care of personal issues and my health, but will always feel thankful to this job for taking care of me and giving me the opportunity to work with them.

      Cons

      Zero. I can not think of one negative thing.

      Pros

      Wage increase for new Driver and Training.

      Cons

      Alot of challenges with this job and management isn't helpful and puts you in hazardous work conditions, old busses with mold and Exhaust Leaks. If you can avoid those it's OK but New Driver are forced into it or get no pay.
