Pros

Depot is neat and tidy, They're always losing staff, so there's plenty of work if you're desperate

Cons

Operations very poorly run Maintenance not conducted until something breaks Drivers expected to breach mandatory hourly limits Be prepared to argue about overtime Several instances of company fuel card being declined for "insufficient funds", unsure if this is because company is broke or just badly managed, but you WILL be asked to pay for fuel out of your own pocket, and then have to hassle the admin staff repeatedly about reimbursement

Pros

Some vehicles in the fleet are new, which is nice, I guess. The boss has a Lamborghini which he drives to work, though, and if you're lucky maybe you'll be able to see it sometimes. He has a Bentley, too, so if you like rare cars maybe that counts as a pro?

Cons

Extremely high turnover of staff means no one knows what's going on. The vehicles aren't maintained, and the staff aren't supported. You WILL be expected to pay to fuel the vehicles, and getting reimbursed WILL require chasing up the admin staff. The admin staff are constantly revolving, so the person who asked you to buy fuel on Monday quite likely won't work there by Friday, so getting reimbursed is an arduous process. You WILL be expected to pay for your own uniforms. You will ALSO be expected to pay a deposit on electronic equipment which WON'T be refunded to you without chasing them up. Pay is below industry rates for Brisbane, and you will be reduced to half pay during waiting times. The yard is overcrowded and difficult to navigate. Communication between management and staff is extremely limited, for example, it's not unusual to turn up for a shift only to be told it's been cancelled. I recommend the Council buses, Transdev, Mt. Gravatt Coaches, or Park Ridge Buses before Belbaker. Seriously, only work here as a last resort.
