I applied online. I interviewed at Community Transit (Everett, WA) in Jul 2014
Interview
Lengthy, protracted, and painful. This company prefers to hire people WITHOUT previous commercial driving experience; everything I've heard about Community Transit from people who've worked there (other than part-time) is that they are very hard on their employees. I have interviewed at least three times for CT in the last eleven years and they've declined to hire me even though I've never had a commercial accident or moving violation in over 21 years with a Class A CDL ( w/ P-1 passenger endorsement) and my 5-year complete driving is 100% clear. One more thing I deem noteworthy: As a professional, I have observed that some of Community Transit's driver are pretty good, but the vast majority are hack amateurs. Btw- all their CT and Sound Transit commuter routes are contracted to First Transit America, whose drivers' operate poorly maintained equipment for 1/3rd less money and piss-poor benefits with ALL the same risks and responsibilities. Goddamn Community Transit to H E L L .

Long and slow, the HR will give you a different message from what will actually happen when you start working. Even when to confront them with something they gave you in writing they will state that's old information.
