PWTransit Careers and Employment

The company is unstable, job is secure. Needs to get some of the drivers to care a bit more about the passengers than themselves. It is a high stress job.

Unless your semi retired, stay away.

Very poor management from scheduling to simple pay corrections. Many of the shifts have long splits 4-6hr equipment are hand me downs from other cities so good luck with having heat or a/c. The mechanics try but it’s understandable with so much red tape from BC Transit. Benefits happen only if you get a permanent position which is an easy 3-5 years from when you start as a spare or those at top finally retire. The union is decent, the union reps are…interesting. Pay is pretty good for the amount of effort that’s needed. But starting pay is a joke but that advances quickly. Great job for semi retired or want a decent part time to fill in when others can’t work.

Can be a fun/good job

I used to love my job. Benefits suck. We sit all day and get nothing for Benefits to help out for pain. Some managers are worth working for in this company and some don't care about you.
