Pros

Some of the coworkers were extremely talented and skilled Got to work on cutting edge tech Good tech resume builder

Cons

I genuinely dont even know where to begin. I can start by saying that Transdev Alternative Services was one of the most toxic workplaces I had ever experienced in my life. Many of the AVOSES quickly became populated by peoples immediate family, this was well known in the department. If you were not apart of their family you were never getting a pay raise or promotion. When Covid hit, Transdev paid off doctors to hold seminars on getting vaccinated and began to harass those who had medical documentation from doctors declaring the health hazard for them. I had personally been denied about 13-18 times (you are reading that right) for promotions because of my doctors note. It had even gotten so bad at transdev that my operations supervisor got a coworker pregnant and promoted her over me even though her qualifications were laughable. This was known by HR who turned a blind eye. If you wanted to request a vacation day off you were required to submit the request 2 months in advance. I cannot stress enough just how badly run and managed this place was. Felt like I was apart of a circus. Dont walk, Run.

Pros

Pay is decent, plenty of opportunity for over time. Management is decent most of the time. Opportunities for advancement and to work at other sights when work is down

Cons

University holidays, breaks, and summer semester create a lot of financial hardships because those days are unpaid. After a year you get a week of PTO. No sick leave. They have a very strict point system. If you call out or leave early you lose points. 2 points per call out. They do not accept doctors notes. If you miss 5 days you're out of a job. The union helps but they have been more focused on pay increases when their is so much wrong. You are not only monitored by AI on the bus along with cameras but also have supervisors onsight that heavily enforce protocol in a way that makes the job highly stressful. You get pulled to the carpet over the most minor stuff. All of this has been from my perspective as driver. Their are better places out there in the industry but for this area you feel the safest here. If you can stomach all of this then try to advance as soon as you can. It gets much more flexible once you are in the office or become a supervisor.
