Pros

I worked with some wonderful people and really enjoyed the kids and their parents.

Cons

Until you get a lot of seniority, hours are limited. If you're retired or have other income and health care coverage, etc.. this is a perfect job. If not, be sure to plan for summer because otherwise you will be mostly unemployed. Minnesota does not allow school bus drivers to collect unemployment checks.
