Pros

Well its a job..... Only good thing I have to say is the 6 hour breaks.

Cons

Well were do I start first the supervisor has favorites. The union is the worst one I have ever been in ever. In Cincinnati they received no holiday pay no sick days or time off. And the first time you make any complaints you are targeted by management to be fired. If you want employee's treat them right and pay them right. Also the bonus your promised is a lie they take taxes out of it.

Pros

The pay for driving is good, however, "driving is only part of the job description. May be well compensated for contracted substitute driver in other locations

Cons

Although there are rules to establish safe, orderly environments for riders and drivers, they are not enforced, and appear symbolic and subjective. Drivers have to bow to whomever decides how it will be handled instead of what the actual rules dictate, creating unnecessary chaos. There also appears to be a good amount of favoritism at this location and company rules and regulations are rarely enforced across the board, resulting in employees doing as they please with little to no repercussions.
