Pros

Decent income. I was off on weekends after 15 years.

Cons

College degrees and prior management experience mean nothing to management. I saw three people who were denied promotion after putting in 4 years to achieve an undergraduate degree. Management told me that college degrees means nothing at Metro.

Pros

Lots of good people, made some close friends

Cons

Management is terrible, they treat drivers bad from day one. They don't care about their people. Pay is very low, about $17 after training, top pay is only $22. Revolving door philosophy, they don't care how many people quit as long as they got new people coming in. Terrible schedules, no breaks. Very unfair how they handle accidents, they will always try to blame the bus driver for it even when the other person is clearly at fault. Health insurance is expensive. Have to work 70 hours a week to make a decent living. They screw you over any chance they get. Cheat you on your paycheck, constantly had to get them to fix mistakes more than once. I worked there a year and a half, several of the people hired with me didn't even stay 6 months. I left and it's the best decision I ever made
