The driving ( I love driving )
Worst thing
The shift hours. One day I’m doing days and the next I’m doing nights with hardly any time to change my sleep pattern between. I really struggle and don’t get any extra pay for nights/weekends.

Best thing
Plenty of downtime to talk to your coworker
Worst thing
You will work the hardest in the garage by far. It’s a very laborious job and they never hire enough staff only abt 2 employees to change over 100 buses and they expect none to be missed.

Best thing
The free bus travel and discounted coach travel along with the large amount of downtime even tho there are no official breaks make it a pretty decent job.
Worst thing
No AC, poor training, poor induction, lack of communication between yourself and your higher ups even when about your own contract, what u apply for may not be what you get, example applied for 8pm-12pm shift on weekly pay, got hired for that role and was place immediately onto a 3pm-8pm shift on monthly pay without my notice :(

Best thing
Secure minimum salary
Worst thing
To much changing shifts exhausting you and no personal life. Not enough money, some days 15 hours and the next only 6 hours to compensate and giving you only the minimum.
