Pay is 7.25 hr plus tips but what they fail to realize is tips are just gratitude & is not mandatory.Hours change like day & night Its like a box of chocolates you never know what you gonna get.
Management, bless her soul she doesn't try to ask for more money for employees.Time i have been there [less than a week] 3ppl have already put in there notices.The older generation work when they wanna or in good with the dispatchers they get the good trips.Ppl are constantly are out of site out of mind, Or Missing in action.Was told by another employee if you have an accident in there vehicle they will make you pay for their vehicle & the other persons vehicle as well.Does not pay time & a half if you work any thing over 80hours it's straight pay [Is that even legal?].You work 10 hour or 6 hour days.because pay is so low manager try to give you hours just to stay above water & not drown in bills[which is good].Was told by management benefits are good just pricey.I'm like if it's like that how can you afford to have benefits deducted from your check when your not making enough to barely survive.On Hire date was told if I got another job would have to report it.& i would have to spilt hours between both jobs Really!!!!.Have my class A license familiar with DOT regulations I don't understand how can this company be under the rules & regulations of DOT when only a regular class C license is required to be employed,also you are not driving anything or anybody that is over 26001lbs LoL...There is no reimbursement for the MVR or Physical that you pay out of pocket.Day 1 while I was training,That was cut short because of lack of employees & pay SUCKS no one wants to work there I ended doing locals picking up ppl back & forth. Despite all of the bad this company has a couple of good in things about them that is the hours and some work days, i were told it's very slow & you still get paid to sit around & wait..

What is the best part of working at the company?
You become a better driver, learning how to safely navigate the traffic of the Atlanta Airport and the traffic of the city itself.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very low pay, less than $17 an hour (about $2,000 a month after taxes).
Poor management.
Passengers who do not follow basic rules of etiquette, or use basic human decency.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Garbage. The managers do not speak to you unless you have done something wrong. Otherwise, you can get a million compliments, have a good driving record, and they ignore you.

The Dispatchers & Drivers are all friendly, and there is a generally good sense of comradarie amongst these two groups.

Otherwise, the company is garbage. Passengers love our service, but the company treats us like pack mules. That is why there is so much turn-around. A revolving door of drivers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive. No standard lunch break. May or may not encounter bad traffic. Interacting with typical city of Atlanta traffic & Atlanta Airport traffic. Nothing special. Getting asked the same questions by different passengers every day. Monotonous.

The training and scheduling staff was unprofessional.  They allowed me to work without my medical certificate driving the a van with bad breaks (dangerous), even after telling them I did not have it in the van with me and I was tired after driving for over 8 hours and wanted to go back to the office to get my medical certificate.  They encouraged me to work over 11 hour days in training and the one trainer denied me access to any food until I complained after 5 hours of driving on the interstate and around the airport.  When I told them I have to eat because I am driving, the trainer stated, "I only ate pretzels today, what are you complaining about?"  They did not train me properly on pickups, and then when they threw me out on my own they talked down to me even though I was never even shown how to pick up clients/customers door to door.  The communication about scheduling and what you will be doing is so poor, so that when you show up, you have no idea what you are doing.  Then they berate you on doing everything "wrong".     I did not continue my employment past training.  I could not work for a company with such poor morals or values.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Cash tips when you get them.  But they are not as good as Management boasts 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dirty vans, broken vans, manager and district manager, they don’t know how to do their job, they only enforce the dress code for those who are not their pets. And their significant others to work there but no one else. When you bring up an issue then their first response is you are wrong. And heaven forbid you text management when they are not at work but on call. They fire back that that is not appropriate to contact them outside office hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management doesn’t care about the employees. It’s all about what you can do for them so they can do as little as possible for you. No raises even though minimum wage has gone up. Manager just plays on his phone all day  even when dispatchers are backed up and can’t get to incoming calls in a timely manner.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dealing with customers and pray you don’t have to talk to lead manager.

At Groome Transportation, I have experienced a truly supportive and collaborative work environment. The management team is approachable and fosters open communication, ensuring that every employee feels valued and heard. They prioritize professional development and encourage us to share ideas and contribute to the company's growth. 

My coworkers are not just colleagues; they have become a second family. We work together seamlessly, sharing knowledge and supporting one another in our daily tasks. The camaraderie and teamwork create a positive atmosphere that motivates us to excel in our roles. 

Moreover, the commitment to safety and customer service is evident in our daily operations. Groome Transportation not only values its employees but also promotes a culture of respect and integrity. Overall, my experience here has been enriching, and I am proud to be part of such a dedicated team that strives for excellence in all aspects of our work


2 years ago I would have told you to run away from this place. Between decripit unmaintained vehicles to less than average pay there was no way id reccomend it.

Now we have brand new high end vehicles in the fleet, an on site mechanic shop that actually cares about the vehicles, and the hourly pay for CDL drivers is in the top 20 percent for the average bus driver pay in the area. That does not include the tips which are always good but can be ludicrous during the holiday rushes.

Both the on site operations managers are great to work with too. If you are a reasonable person they are very easy to get along with and they both have been understanding when life has thrown me curveballs. Managment takes saftey seriously while not being overly nitpicky. They dont let corporate push them around either and they have made a big impact on morale.

As a current bus driver I cant reccomend the Fort Collins office enough

What is the best part of working at the company?
driving a vehicle down to PHX with no passengers on a hot day so i could power wash these old stinky busses with hand grime on the wheels, and god knows what on the seats, pet hair people hair cat hair food candy all hidden in the crevices dust... cleaning and making a fresh vehicle and transporting all the passengers in a timely smooth manner.... got 200 in tips driving theu a monsoon on a really bad tire... which by god worked in my favor i couldnt drive over 65mph anyways with out the bus shaking

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
every fake cristion in the place... hard headed baby boomers who love driving in stink and filth

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
horrible.... good luck, when you open the door of the vehicles the stench hits you in the face

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
cleaning a stinky vehicle and trying not to get sick... keeping windows cracked... was grime off sterring wheel...lysol.... disgusting

What is the best part of working at the company?
The dispatchers, fleet manager, hiring boss and drivers are great to work with. Meeting all sorts of different people and hearing about there trips make it all worth it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The only stressful thing about the job is the Portland traffic during rush hour when you are trying to stay on schedule, and the drivers who cut you off

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We all come from different backgrounds but we all mesh real well

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I get there I ask dispatch if there's anything I need to know about my passengers, we joke around for a few, I clock in, pre trip my shuttle and leave on time. I stop at all our stops going to the airport, take my lunch break, pick up my arrivals and drop them off where they are going, fuel up my shuttle, get back to the hub, clean my shuttle, post trip and clock out

This company does not mind putting it's drivers and passengers at risk by violating standard DOT safety regulations. They make drivers drive over their driving time even though that driver is tired. Then will threaten them with job loss if they refuse to drive. If you do agree to drive over your time and end up being in violation, you are then rewarded with a written reprimand. Even though you were being forced to help out. All of this for $7.25/hr. They treat their employees like objects instead of human beings. Management and upper management tries their best everyday to create a hostile work environment by constantly threatening all employees with job loss. Management only cares about their bottom line, instead of providing safe travel and customer service. Too many unethical practices to name. Sadly these practices are companywide. This entire company needs to be shut down and completely restructured.

management is a joke, there is no training they throw u into the job, they only go by company hand book when it fits them. You will NEVER go up in the company or get a raise. They have a high turn over rate. There is no team work here. You have a few good dispatchers, drivers and the women in wash bay is a huge help. As far as charter supervisor she  doesnt know her job you can NEVER get  a hold of her on the weekends or week days when she has the one call phone. She will smile in your face and talk dirt behind your back and the general manager is the same way. (they  both good Friends they cover for each other).  They r both discourteous to employees so just tell one of them no you will see that quick when they r n a bind and need you to help. The owners have no clue whats going on with management and how they treat there employees. you go to management about issues and they brush you off.
