      Pros

      Decent pay for part time work. Can pick up more hours if desired. Great for parents, you can bring your kids on the bus with you, when kids are off so are you.

      Cons

      Office is very busy so difficult to get issues resolved, also because of that errors are often made in payroll, so have to keep a close eye on your hours. paperwork handed in disappears & doesn't have a designated place to go. Company seems more interested in profits. Routing program used is not conducive for bus routing

      Pros

      Part time hours, could bring my son to work when needed, loved interacting with the students more than coworkers, time off

      Cons

      Racist and incompetent management at Muskego terminal (they didn't remove the swastika graffiti from my bus until I switched to the Milwaukee terminal); very jealous and insecure female coworkers at the Milwaukee terminal. In hindsight, twas very comical since their many issues had no reflection on me, but at the time it was difficult to work in that trashy, high-school-like environment.
