Pros

Opportunity to have a long tenure with a 100 year old company, Free bus travel (if you can use it...it takes days and days to get anywhere on a bus) Company gives free DART passes for corporate employees living in Dallas Ft. Worth, Good people to work with

Cons

Numerous cons. For starters, the company's achillies heal is it's fare and booking software. It was written in 1989 (no not making this up) Because of this archaic software, Greyhound can not give a decent web site experience, use electronic tickets, can not tell customers (or employees) where busses are. This company is stuck in the late 80's in technology, and upper management is fighting tooth and nail to upgrade it. There is a "good ol Boy network here. Many complacent mangers who are lazy, drivers are rude to passengers, mis communication between all departments (one had does not know what the other is doing...and there are ALOT of hands in the company), Employees in the field who do not use the bags system properly, and therefore customer's bags become "missing". Company is very money poor and will not spend any cash to help fix these issues. They constantly try to cut corners and make one person do the job of 2 or even 3. Customer service is so over worked, they are burned out. The old timers go around saying "we are an icon in the travel industry" when clearly we are a joke. And the one I find the most sickening "only 1 percent of our customers complain" The arrogance here is just mind boggling (yes I am looking for another job and will be leaving here as soon as I find one)

Pros

You will receive 9 hrs for rest time (unless there’s an issue) which is beneficial when over the road.

Cons

Payroll discrepancies will burden your time. It’s imperative to check your pay DAILY and submit claims immediately else your upcoming paycheck will be wrong. Do not expect management to help. You’ll rely on older drivers for input on and off the road. Runs are supposed to be assigned the day before and this is not reality. Expect late / early calls with misinformation. Mgmt will not honor your vacation block schedule (Mon 12:01 thru Sun 6am PTO week) and contact you for assignment. They will interrupt your vacation week in hopes you’ll take an assignment. Guaranteed days off are also a cause of friction. When your GDO approaches they will try to assign work then claim you forfeited the day off and need to continue in service. “Based off the needs of the operation” is their blanket excuse. You have to reach out to union rep and push back. If you report Fatigued more than once they will write you up. And this is after denying your guaranteed days off. Training is fast tracked and once OTR you’ll realize how much information was withheld. Especially during breakdowns or passenger escalation.
