Pros

Besides working in corporate, other good positions are being a bus driver, mechanic and/or in management.

Cons

Once management notices you are an excellent worker they will exploit you. My first year I was responsible for cleaning the terminal, exterior of property and performing my current job duties such as throughly servicing fleets-clean interior and exterior of buses. I work alone on an 8 hour shift servicing 8 buses, not including doubles, deadheads, or buses that are cut because a driver doesn't want to drive there schedule. I only have an average of 30 minutes to clean each bus. Also I'm the only employee held responsible for cleaning maintenance facility restrooms, driver's area, mechanic's office, scrubbing the garage and wash bays floors while other fleet workers are allow to service buses only. Managers are always preaching On-Time Performance (OTP), and teamwork. Drivers are always 2 hours late, then managers/supervisors expect you to perform a miracle on buses. The Union and Corporate will unite forces together if you challenge or question there executive plans. The manager who hired me said my position starts @ 11.00/hr that was a lie more like $9.48/hr and currently I'm earning close to $11.03/hr after 5 years.

Pros

Chance to see the country and interact with a diverse group of co-workers and passengers. Pay is decent compared to other inter-city carriers. Only have to deal with management when in terminals. Bus operators spend 90% of their time away from terminals

Cons

Uneven working schedule for new drivers. Some locations have deep seniority lists. Confrontational attitude by some members of management.
