Transit Operator
When you will see their teansit operator position opening, you will be happy to see the salary they offer. Then one day you will get a job. Then you will have to write your life to them.
Even 10+ years operators don't get good shifts. You feel like you are always at work because of long shifts. Constant forced (they call it built-in) overtime will break your back and affect your health. They don't even have protective doors for protection of their drivers on buses. Buses are very old and seats are garbage and smells pathetic.
If you get weekends you get long splits so forget the 5 weekdays. You just go home change, change clothes, sleep and again get back to work in few hours. And if you want weekdays good work forget weekends off. So once you join this company say bye bye to your work life balance and spending time with your friends and family.
Drivers sometimes work 9 to 10 days at a stretch without a single day off. They say it is okay as 10 days are in two different weeks so it's okay. But they don't realize that it's straight 10 day work. They don't even care about safety of their passengers. Image a very tired driver driving your bus.
So in a nutshell settle for less salary but stay away from Miway transit operator job.
