      Pros

      Leading edge technology. Lots of opportunity for mobility and advancement. Being part of the world's largest ground passenger transportation company. Great people. A chance to feel you are working together to make a difference, ultimately contributing to the safety and education of the students we transport.

      Cons

      Others may sometimes view the company as being too large and successful.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      autonomy, RRSP matching, room for advancement once current manager us fired and the next person in line is thrown in to a management with no relevant experience or training/ education.

      Cons

      poor management structure Zero on the job training for support staff. Very good at blaming workers for incidents and not fixing systemic management issues to correct issues.
