Pros

Pay is higher here than the rest of the AV industry. One of the larger contractors in the industry with presence in many parts of the country. Work is 24 x 7 so there is the possibility of working different hours if that suits your lifestyle.

Cons

Aggressive cost cutting and downsizing going on right now, June 2023. No official layoffs, but they're trying to get rid of employees by making it tough to work there. Stricter rules to make it easier to fire workers or old rules that weren't enforced before are now being applied. Lots of managers and drivers have been fired for the flimsiest of excuses. Perks and supplies provided in the past have been taken away. They recently changed performance reviews from 6 months to 1 year, so you won't get a pay increase as often as before.There are lots of drivers who don't have much to do during their shift so it's obvious that downsizing is going to happen. Everyone is on edge because of the mass firings, which provides a break from the toxic culture that was prevalent before this period. They're not hiring much anyway.

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.
