First Student Employer Reviews

Pick up student and deliver to school/home
Clean bus daily
daily inspections
dealing with other drivers
have to be very alert on what is going on around you.

This company could care less about their drivers.

Their union does very little to help if you have a problem.

They dont trust their employees to do their job and they intimidate their drivers.

I quit this job and moved on to Golden Arrow, and am currently very happy working for this more reputable company that appreciates us.

I always thought that – more...  If I would have a problem it would be with the student, but turns out if was the management that turned out to be the problem.

Happy to have moved on!! Be wary of this company. – less

We transport children to and from school to there home's. My job allows me to council the children to assit them in what ever they may need me to assist them with.

great place to work but looking for better opportunity but you have the ability to learn alot about the transportation business

a typical day at work was doing the driving but although i drove the same route everyday i learned different challenges everyday,my co workers was friendly at all times and respectful,management was great they always thank you for your good hard work and let you know your doing a good job,the hardest part of my job happens to been the best part of my – more...  job and that was safely and properly getting the children to and from school,and the most enjoyable part of my job is when i return back to the yard after a job well done. – less

Driving the kids back and forth to school and home was cool. Once i got in the shop that was awesome i got to learn about engine repair.

Picking student up and taking them to their assigned schools, sometime i would do field trips and after school activities. I learned how much I love children. There was not anything hard about the job. I just enjoyed the children and the parents..

I worked 6-7 hours a day and got paid 75.00 a day Which is nothing like the in town salary of 16 an hour.

Good steady job everything is very repeditive. The kids that i transport can be a challenge or put a smile on your face.

Well there are better things to do but if you need money this will help. Split shifts early morning to mid morning then early afternoon till 4 to 5PM. weekly you can look at getting 20 to a little over 30hrs depending count on less and u won't be disappointed. In RI all the bus yards are Union (either Teamsters or SEIU) and generally pay starts around – more...  $15/hr. Raises every year plus step raises so in time not bad but the company is run by Idiots so do your job and go home or you will lose your mind. – less

Driving a school bus is rewarding if you enjoy working with children.

The Bus Driver Training was very informative. I can say overall my driving skills have improved.

This company can careless about the children or the employees.

Seasonal work good pay.You can either get charter work or bid on a route home to school. most locations are union. Long process to get certified. Need to have special licenses to work there.Would recommend this company.

Pay is pretty decent for a Part Time job, good if you're a college student. Hardly any room for advancement. Job security as long as you keep your driving record clean.

This employer was fair for the most part. the work hours were perfect.

Great place to work. Don't have a CDL? Don't worry they will train you! Weekends & Evenings off.

Responsibility and safetyconcerns are a must! Driving a Schoolbus with about 35 Students on it, watching them and still driving save, overlooking the surrounding area, listen to the radio and still be friendly. You will get assulted, teased and threatened by Students and need your good sense to handle all of them. Personal attacks are reported!

when i first stared working for this job it was a friendly invironment were you knew that if you worked you would get payed for what your work is worth i got to meet a lot of good people but now 6 years into it it has changed in a very negative way between a 40 work cap no use of a real time clock and a union that doesn't help when you have problems – more...  i must move on – less

Company Relies tomuch on Tecnologies, Proven Dosen't trust Employes to do thier Jobs. Has Placed Tattler Boxes on the Bus' Tries to pay substandard pay, Never recived prevaling wage.
