Pros

Since only 2 models of vehicles were in the fleet, everyone was able to get really good at repairing them,

Cons

This location was a prime example of managers reaching their level of incompetency and staying there. Very frustrating place to work. Many employees spent more efforts in union activities in order to reduce production than in the actual job that was paying them. Salary is below average.

Pros

Co-workers are great. Time off on holidays and summer. Pay is good compared to other jobs.

Cons

Managers are not qualified to do their jobs. If they do hire someone good they will get burnout because of all the stupid rules and procedures they have to follow. You feel like you're being spied on. They pay you to the second, got a pay check for 39.98 hours!! The bus are old and break down. They don't respect union contracts.
