I have been working at First Transit full-time
Pros
clients are easy to deal with and overall not a lot of micromanaging
Cons
Have to work a lot more than advertised including holidays and a lot of blame pushed down from corporate to the locations even after receiving numerous heads up of the issues.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at First Transit full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
I liked my most of my passengers
Cons
The pay rate is VERY low. The company shows very little loyalty at the location level. Communication is unilateral - the company tells the drivers what to do, but doesn't care about input from the drivers.
Advice to Management
The drivers are responsible for the company's revenue. Pay the drivers what they're worth, and back them up when needed.
