Pros

Paid Training, Nice Trainers, Friendly Co Workers

Cons

If you like working split shifts with up to 15 hours out of your day and not having ANY time to do anything else and you like to be paid the lowest wage out of any of the contractors in the RTD fleet by 2.25 per hour then this is the place for you! And if you like to try and sleep so your a safe and rested driver in there "quiet" room then good luck because you get to listen to people yell and play pool the whole time. There discipline system is entirely based on favoritism and their scheduling is poor at best. You have no time to rest and unwind when you get home its strait to bed and strait back to work in at 4 sometimes 5 in the morning. And be sure and be early! Because they DO NOT give you nessecary pre trip inspection time but expect it to be done perfect and expect you to pull out on time. Also the union is an absolute mess with frequent power struggles. There is constant miscommunication on the part of management to the drivers and if something is wrong you get blamed no matter what. The equipment they lease from RTD is poorly maintained frequently the buses are blowing smoke from the exhaust and check engine lights are on and nothing is done about it. The company has FREQUENT accidents that I suspect have a lot to do with lack of rest. One of my trainers was out and out insane and I had no idea how he still held a CDL license let alone a job and more especially a TRAINING position. They lied during my interview saying I may have one or two split shift a week not 5. All in all this place is a joke in comparison with First Transit, MV, or Via if you want to drive for RTD go to one of them or RTD themselves this place is ridiculous at best.

Pros

Easy money, just zone out and let the car do it’s thing. Free snacks.

Cons

Carrot danglers. You can be a top performer for a year and get passed up by people who are 2-3 months in. Imagine being told there are no roles open in your geo, only for them to make room for a person who was hired months after you, someone you helped get to where they are. It’s insulting.

Pros

They have a parking lot.

Cons

They don't like to answer phones, respond to voicemail or emails, they lose paperwork, and if by some miracle you do manage to get them on the phone after repeatedly calling, they couldn't possibly make it clearer that they don't want to talk and can't be bothered. Questions are met with curt, bored-sounding responses which are repeated in a slightly more annoyed tone if you try to ask for specifics about their screw-ups until you hang up. I was provisionally hired but kept in a weird limbo of jumping through hoops and being strung along while putting up with their lack of communication for months. Long after I assumed they had just lost interest and ghosted me and I had continued seeking employment elsewhere, they did eventually call me back to let me know they'd lost my background check before anyone could get around to reviewing it. They asked me to resubmit the authorization to run it again, which I did, only leading to further radio silence on their part and their unique artisanal blend of indifference/hostility if I attempted to contact them. In short, my advice dealing with this company: shoot them an application if you like, but don't count your chickens until they hatch and keep applying elsewhere even if they tell you you've got the job.
