Good job... minimum supervision period. You do work with the disabled all types.. If you are a people person this is a great job. A dollar-an-hour raise for your first four years full benefits everything

Pros

Good pay, flexible hours, some good benefits like medical. Many of the staff are friendly. Union helps out employees when there are issues.

Cons

There is a high turnover of recruiting part timers because of the crazy work schedules provided by operations. Part timers do not really have flexible hours and do not get paid 1.5 pay working holidays. Also no vacations. Due to seniority PT get the crappy routes to operate. In order to get a good job with VIA you must sacrifice 5 years of life to gain seniority and must be full time. VIA states seniority for FT recruitment, yet there are exceptions where some down on the seniority list are considered first for full time. No consideration for employees with education, there are clicks in the HR hiring process; yet VIA will pay you a 2 month course so you could cover for all the leftovers hours/routes Full timers do not want. A lot of resignation due to high stress, less family time and consideration of veterans, and educated people because, as they say, they hire within through seniority, yeah right!
