Pros

The travel perks, but that depends on which Transdev business you work for. Gained several new skills, not from the "promised-and-forgotten-about" personal development opportunities, but rather due to the continuous and unending lack of resourcing which forced me to upskill to be able to effectively do my job without the much-needed support.

Cons

Extremely underpaid with no performance reviews, whilst the senior management team continue to receive their bonuses. Yearly pay increases given out according to how close your GM is with the MD. Abusive 'family' culture of "we're all in this together" until you're unwell. I've been in the room whilst senior management team members complained about staff members' medical issues that were causing them to be unable to work. Upper management are known bullies internally and externally. The company is consistently working so lean that no positive changes can be made as staff are already up to their eyeballs in work.

Pros

Pay is decent, plenty of opportunity for over time. Management is decent most of the time. Opportunities for advancement and to work at other sights when work is down

Cons

University holidays, breaks, and summer semester create a lot of financial hardships because those days are unpaid. After a year you get a week of PTO. No sick leave. They have a very strict point system. If you call out or leave early you lose points. 2 points per call out. They do not accept doctors notes. If you miss 5 days you're out of a job. The union helps but they have been more focused on pay increases when their is so much wrong. You are not only monitored by AI on the bus along with cameras but also have supervisors onsight that heavily enforce protocol in a way that makes the job highly stressful. You get pulled to the carpet over the most minor stuff. All of this has been from my perspective as driver. Their are better places out there in the industry but for this area you feel the safest here. If you can stomach all of this then try to advance as soon as you can. It gets much more flexible once you are in the office or become a supervisor.
