Working at First Student in Seattle, WA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Seattle, WA Area

"Seattle: RAMPANT favoritism. 2012-2013 start @$13 (was $14.25)"

What do you like about working at First Student?

"I enjoyed the scenery and variety of neighborhoods my routes took me through. I enjoyed driving kids on special trip destinations"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask Are the BENEFITS provided or available If they hesitate...then say AVAILABLE, just know that YOU will be paying for them out of your pitiful wages. PROVIDED mean THEY PAY....not likely here in Seattle. Also they will unspokenly expect that you donate your time for the First AID Training classes in the future. Your 1st First Aid Card/training is paid for, 3 years later you DONATE your time in the next class. I still think that Washington State Labor and Industries should investigate/AUDIT their records at this location for not paying for this MANDATORY TRAINING."

What don't you like about working at First Student?

"The CHARTER DISPATCHERS show Favoritism in the extra assignments and the NEW Pier 91 Location Mgr has a God/LITTLE Napoleon Complex-not a nice guy to work for or to be around. Can you say antagonistic jerk"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Fire the new antagonistic jerk mentioned above. Stop fighting the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union attempts at organizing your workers. Why do you seriously care whether they pay union dues Workers Pro: they'll get a Labor Agreement with improved working conditions and steady fair wages. Mgmt Pro: LESS Turnover each year. Can we say 20-30% annually It's a NO BRAINER! BUT wait...they'd have to have a BRAIN to get this. My BAD...I gave them the benefit of the doubt."
