I worked at Société de transport de Montréal and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. Management shows little support for drivers and often does not take our side, even in situations where we are clearly not at fault.

In incidents involving passengers, drivers are frequently blamed even when the client is the aggressor. Similarly, if a vehicle hits a bus, it often still feels like responsibility is pushed onto the driver regardless of the circumstances. This creates a stressful and unfair working environment.

The workplace culture is also not very welcoming, especially for new hires. There is a noticeable divide, and it can be difficult to feel supported when starting out. On top of that, some long standing employees have voted in policies that negatively impact newer drivers, leaving them to deal with the consequences.

Overall, the lack of support, accountability, and positive culture makes it a challenging place to work. There is significant room for improvement, particularly in how management supports and protects its drivers.

Terrible schedule and you won't get your weekends off for at least 7-10 years. Management constantly breaths down your neck for all the little things. You will lose your mind with rude and arrogant customers and drivers who never respect the basic laws of the road.

The salary and benefits are decent but is steadily declining due to the insane amount of taxes and fees your pay. You lose on average 55% of your gross salary per week.

If you're single, have no kids and no social life, it's a great job. Otherwise - run.

Trust me on this I've worked there for 17 years and I finally just quit. The union is non existing for 400$/month of your pay for their "help". You are a number. A nothing. It's all your fault. Can't be sick. Can't be late. PTSD guaranteed. They make you choose between your family and your job.
the clients are so full of themselves always me me me filming, judging, sharing on social platforms without you telling your side or even knowing about it. They film you at all times, no privacy the only safe place is the bathroom.
You get yelled at, spat at, pushed and hit and yet it's your fault. No respect whatsoever anymore. The hours are HORRIBLE.

It was the type of job where you have rush-traffic hours, and other tasks that you would consider long, repetitive and boring.  The environment was heavy, where you worked with a lot of people who just did not get along with each other.  The hardest part of the job was dispatching over the microphone during rush-hours with cancellations, modifications and emergencies.  Everybody worked for their pay, and generally hated their job.  We all stayed there for the pay and retirement advantages.

The STM garage is well organised. The foreman distributes work orders to the mechanics. The mechanic brings the bus to the garage and starts to repair it with taking all security measures and  according to the work order. Then he verifies that the problem is solved and everything is perfect. 
I learned all these things. There is a coach in each shift who is ready to help any mechanic faces a difficulty. The stuff are very kind and cooperative and they have a team spirit.

You treated as piece of garbage during your typical work day. Management  is  of low standard people with higher demand for employees. No responsibility in the company but from drivers. Benefits were good once upon the time but overall conditions had changed, so it’s useless now. Too much fresh newcomers changing overall labour standards and relations. It will become soon as at Paris, regarding conditions for bus drivers.

Experience working for the STM is fantastic. Employment opportunities are vast. to work there, you must be responsible, hard worker and orderly. also we need to know how to manage time. The owners are very professional, responsible, they know what they are doing. The staff always helps those who have problems and that's makes the job easier and less stressful.

It is a tough job.  Forget social life or family life.  Be ready.  They have no tolerance for late people.  They pay well, it is safe but they want everything.   Work on the island, live on the island.  It is stressful and you will spend you day eating junk and breathing pollution. 

This is the absolute worst company I've ever worked for.  Other than the pay, everything else ---》 pure 💀💀. 
The people, the processes , the culture (non existant), the lack of support, the benefits, the collective agreement,  and I can go on and on and on. If you are thinking of taking on a job here and leaving your current job, think Long and hard.
