Pros

Learned how to drive a bus, left with a license I can use throughout the United States. Healthcare was top-notch, Pension and Compensation was excellent.

Cons

Low seniority drivers get short assignments and split shifts (2hours in am and 3-4hours in pm) initially but after 2 years you could choose reasonably. Transition to FT would lower your seniority again and would get extra-board assignments in the evening/afternoon and would usually be split again but longer. Kept on applying to programs (mechanic apprentice/light rail/street car) but low seniority after 2 years = not good enough.

Pros

it's a paycheck, not much other than that

Cons

I worked here for years, and it's all going downhill fast. Leadership is constantly sending down "initiatives" that pile more and more work on everyone w/out any additional resources. And all the emails they send to employees are lip service and no actions. Upper and middle management don't even give you the decency of telling you "no" or the truth- they just never answer you.
