Pros

Most of the fleet are new busses.

Cons

Watch out for tip steeling if your paper work has not total amount on it they aways say a computer problem. But you find out if your doing a football game an it run into overtime they don't want to put in the extra amount you should get paid. Also if the customer puts a tip on the bill when they order the bus you better pray that you get it. So be warned check to see if tip were applied.

Pros

Easy interview and selection process-they be hungry for staff

Cons

Poor training program, with trainers running errands all day for their own personal business, on Academy's time, mind you...totally neglecting to effectively train the "new hires" while simultaneously giving poor reviews on a "pre-trip." Sir, you ran dem Baltimore streets ALL day, let me get paid for it, and didn't teach me 1 thing about Coach Bus operations. THANK YOU...but no thanks. It was the worse new-hire experience I have ever had. I would NOT recommend them. FALSE PAY ADVERTISED IS OFFENSIVE!! No one needs $15.75/hr "in training." thats laughable.
