Pros

I had a great trainer and who is willing to go above and beyond to help me even after my training has ended.

Cons

I started and ended my training with First Student almost two months ago. I was told along with about 5 others that we would be paid for our training as of today 09/05/2015 that has yet to occur. I have gotten my first pay check from them only to find out that instead of the agreed upon amount I was given $5.00 less. When I asked about it with my manager I just go I will see what we can do. On the training issue he said that he did not know how he can pay me for time in July when I was not an employee until the 5th of Aug. And they had a huge sign saying sign on bonus that is a joke because they have not even given those out either. The management team does not know what is going on and the lack of communication is very viable.
