Not so good

Bus operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly good people working there.

Cons

Company brought in all inexperienced management when they won the contract. All instructions are verbal for fear of writing it down. Verbal policies change daily. Dispatch is reactive vs proactive. Even if they know a detour exoists they won't tell you till you get there. Benefits are bare minimum. New recruits are given minimal training - many accidents. Management does not respond to any input. Maintenance is substandard. Red tagged buses are sent back on the road. Union rep poor - can take 6 days to reach a rep. Mandatory 6 day work week.

They will hire you to fire you!

Bus operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Reasonable pay and generous benefits. Lots of overtime.

Cons

This is micromanagement at its best! They will find any reason to fire you and in some cases make up a reason. Poor communication among the management and supervisory team. Terrible training. The training is designed to make you fail, hence, making it easy to terminate you. This comment applies specifically to the Chula Vista, CA location, which operates bus routes under contract with the San Diego's Metropolitan Transit Systems......oh, and before I forget.....corrupt organization with the union (Teamsters 683). They have fired 5 supervisors and managers for embezzling funds from the company in the past 3 years. [THIS ONE IS TRUE, YOU WILL HAVE BETTER CHANCES AT A PROMOTION OR JOB SECURITY IF YOU BUY SOME KNEEPADS]
