Pros

District supports drivers. Decent benefits for part time employees. Being a charter bus hub offered extra work.

Cons

Inadequate, non-experienced management placed from First Student just to have a body in the position. No recourse or even response from First Student corporate HR when student's conduct becomes criminal against drivers or any other issue for that matter. Bully atmosphere allowed. Mandated safety standards not always followed i.e, overcrowding. Mechanics bus maintenance and experience questionable.
