Pros

Durham in Rochester, MI. Is a decent place to work. They set you up with everything and work very hard to train you for the position. Management attempts to minimize issues and drivers are all pretty friendly. This can be an amazing place to work IF you are confident and very good at driving a bus.

Cons

While working for Durham (at least in rochester, Mi) do NOT take time off. They really react negatively to it. It seems a bit unprofessional, but they do get upset if you need to miss anything. They use a loose interpretation of incident. Be sure to cover your self. And while the people are nice, most if not all of them will sell you out in a heartbeat. Mistakes are met with mounting tension. And that's not mentioning the kids. Most of the Rochester kids are entitled, rude little snots whose privileged parents defend their poor actions to the last. If you keep your head down, show up every day before time, and keep quiet, you'll do ok. Also I'm not sure if it's a con but most everyone there is related to someone else there. There isn't really favoritism, but it is hard to break in to those cliques.

Pros

Steady minimum 26 hrs weekly Weekly Pay Multiple opportunities for trips and extra routes

Cons

The opportunity for trips is first come to sign up sheets first served but even then you may be selected if your route happens to align with whatever route they've got to give out. So don't bank on them for extra hours.
