Pros

Look most americans do not want to work anymore.If they don't like management they find a reason to sure the company. thats why all the jobs left america. Americans are cry babies. Greyhound is a fine company. We look like airline pilots to the public. We have there lives in our hands. That should make you guys and gals feel proud. We have a responsibilty to the customer, so treat them with respect and not some jail house guard barking out THE LAW., They are paying your salary. Most of the weazzles with the company are the regular driver's who have it made. They book off in bad weather and abuse the system. They put in their time and have that honor. However,

Cons

There are a lot but I choose to do this job so I am making the best of it. I have started an internet market business that makes me almost what I do with Greyhound. My life is 100% better than it was before joining greyhound. I own a very nice house in a very good neighborhood. My SDO is a hard ass but if you do your job and treat passengers like people you don't have trouble. To many driver's start out their trips telling people THE RULES. let them know who you are, what you have done with the company, be their friend and they will respect you. Take the time to greet each one of them as though you would like to be greeted. Remember they are the ones paying you,an your family. have pride in what you do, we are the same as airline pilots and we are paid well for what we do. Show it. if you just don't like people. It's simple,Get a new job. You have a CDL. A select few are really cut out to do this job,

Pros

They have close knit groups, not micro managed. Some managers are understanding of needing time off for doctors or dentist. Some managers understand not wanting to work over time while there is family waiting patiently at home.

Cons

The good 'ol boy crowd will determine who gets raises and promotions. Heavy office politics. Lower level employees are looked down on as brainless children no matter what age they are, or how much experience they have.
