      Pros

      The hours work well for attending college, plenty of time inbetween routes to attend classes and do homework. And on charters they basically pay you to sit and do homework. Fellow drivers are friendly and helpful. Always ready to joke and laugh with you, and also willing to help you work through issues on your bus. Management is very approachable, willing to listen, and actually cares about their employees.

      Cons

      Because it's part-time work getting enough hours to really support yourself or a family is difficult. Early morning hours. Working from 6:30-9:00am and then from 2:30-5:00pm is a bit of a weird schedule.
