Pros

Flexible schedules. Outdoors. Kids are great. Other driver employees are great. Your job is important. Get paid wait time on field trips but not full pay.

Cons

Management does not value employees. Constantly blames employees for their own shortcomings. No benefits and not full time. This district does not pay full pay for wait time.

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.
