STA reviews

VERY little room for meaningful advancement. Outside of becoming a behind-the-wheel trainer or a classroom instructor (which only guarantees a $.25 raise and a 30 hour week), supervisor/management or decent paying salaried jobs are hard to come by and you have to wait in a seniority line to get one (which could take years).The ceiling pay for drivers currently stands at around $18/hr. (7+ years work), you are only guaranteed part-time hours (even though there are opportunities to work more every week if you make yourself available), and there is a clear distinction made between the management, payroll, and dispatcher departments and the drivers (who are the backbone of the company). They don't even refer to the drivers as staff.

Management has little or no respect for its drivers. Management, although very safety conscious, harangues local employees when accidents occur at other terminals. Management is "bottom-line" driven. Keeps buses mechanically OK, but refuses to wash them. This makes the company look less than satisfactory to the general public.
