Manager will make life difficult if she doesnt like you. You will assigned the worst runs and drive beat up buses. Always report defects so that manager doesnt point the finger to you.

Bus Operator

Pros

Mostly nice trainers and coworkers; great managers. They pay and train you to get a CDL B. Very tolerant of sick days off. Lots of overtime opportunity, and decent pay.

Cons

Split shifts will run you ragged. You start work around 4-5am and return 9am, then you start again around 1pm and finish at 7-8pm. You might get around 4-5 hours of sleep every work night, then they expect you to make-up the rest of the sleep between your split shifts. This is why bus drivers fall asleep and crash. A small mistake on this job can result in multiple counts of involuntary manslaughter. You deal with people of all walks of life; believe it or not, the rich and entitled are the worst. Bathroom breaks are far between; sometimes not at all.
