Pros

Part time hours, could bring my son to work when needed, loved interacting with the students more than coworkers, time off

Cons

Racist and incompetent management at Muskego terminal (they didn't remove the swastika graffiti from my bus until I switched to the Milwaukee terminal); very jealous and insecure female coworkers at the Milwaukee terminal. In hindsight, twas very comical since their many issues had no reflection on me, but at the time it was difficult to work in that trashy, high-school-like environment.

Pros

The pay for driving is good, however, "driving is only part of the job description. May be well compensated for contracted substitute driver in other locations

Cons

Although there are rules to establish safe, orderly environments for riders and drivers, they are not enforced, and appear symbolic and subjective. Drivers have to bow to whomever decides how it will be handled instead of what the actual rules dictate, creating unnecessary chaos. There also appears to be a good amount of favoritism at this location and company rules and regulations are rarely enforced across the board, resulting in employees doing as they please with little to no repercussions.
