NRT Bus, Inc.

When the company was small it was awesome to work at NRT. However, once the company grew bigger and bigger you started to notice a change from the small business (carrying about employees, fairness in pay, time off, knowing that work isn’t your life) to a large corporate company where they don’t care about you personally because in their mind they can and will just hire someone else to do the job. 

After giving this company my entire life for years I got hurt on the job and rather than collecting worker’s compensation I agreed to work in an office helping. I everything was going great except the fact that rather than 50+hours I was working before I was now only working 40 hours and instead of driving 5-10 min to get to work I was driving about an hr or more depending on traffic. When I asked for something to help me offset the cost of fuel I was denied it. 

I felt as though after all the years I put into the company to make it better I would not take the worker’s compensation to help them and in turn I’d be able to keep working. Plus it cut the cost for them to not have to pay when someone isn’t doing anything. 

Unfortunately this is what led to me giving my notice on a Thursday. In my notice I stated that I would still be willing to work part time as a driver when they needed help but I unfortunately had to find something closer to home. Only to find out Friday when I went back to work that I was fired and told to immediately leave the property. 

Then after all that I was owed 2 weeks vacation. Even someone I won’t mention in HR was trying to help me get that vacation and it was being denied by the owner. 

It really is unfortunate because had I not been hurt or at the very least not agreed to go in the office I would probably still be working there. NRT was my life until I saw it’s true colors. 

Very Easy work schedule (too easy), couple hours in the morning, and a couple more in the afternoon, and you're done.  The best co-workers, and good to see that management is committed and serious about delivering Excellence.  While there is Free Training for CDL Class B, and the necessary endorsements, Diesel makes me nauseous.  The pay rate is good, for this job, but there aren't enough hours to make a decent days wages, and since it's only P/T work, there are no Benefits.  Very hard to "fit" this job, with another P/T one, with the kind of flexibility one would need, in order to compensate to a reasonable days wages.  Like driving, and it's easy to get attached to these students; it would be perfect if it could somehow manifest into a F/T capacity.  Suggest this as something for Semi-Retirement, and especially for Moms, who are generally "at home", and want more to do, even having School Aged Children, this could be a "good fit".

There are never enough drivers. We always have to double up on routes and now we aren’t even allowed student transfers. Management does not have CDLs so they just sit and complain about a job they know NOTHING about. You can give months ahead in advanced for a day off and they won’t approve it because “they don’t have the resources to replace you” for said day. Then again they are always holding your job over your head basically if you don’t do whats asked we will let you go type of thing. Oh and last but not least your contracted for a year. Locked in for a whole year unless you wanna pay them 6k for breach of contract. 

NRT is a fun job however it is extremely hard to advance in the company for example i have been working for NRT for about 7 years now and had told HR and others in higher management that i wanted to apply for a different position if one was to become available. but when one came up they never posted the job for anyone to apply for it and hired outside the company. management is great for the most part, taking time off is very hard to do though without them making you feel like you asked for their first born.

It's a team oriented atmosphere. Everyone's there to help each other.

Right now it's a lot of training

Too much focus is put on seniority with this company and the pay between locations is drastic. There is a $10/hour gap between the route I drive and the next town even though we work out of the same base. 
Great part time pay but the hours don’t leave room for a second job and there aren’t enough hours for a single parent to survive off of. 
It’d be a great part time job for a family looking for a second part time income since you can bring your kids to work with you.

I loved working for NRT. Any school transport system will be a little crazy, but the joy I felt meeting all kinds of people and children and helping them through life  plus I also learned how a team can truly be like a family if you make it a part of your life. It wasnt just a job for me, I hated having to leave, but I moved on with my own children and realized I learned a lot from working here. I would definately go back

What is the best part of working at the company?
Old vehicles, not organized at all

Not bad at all if you work from far and not attend the office n a daily basis 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wasn’t hard, but not very relaxing too, I consider it a long day

Great place to work at.  Good for peaople with kids because when they get time off from school uou have time off as well.  Don't have to work nights and weekends.  Even though it is mostly part-time job they have plenty of extra work that it you look for it you cam get it.  If you love driving, love kids, and flexibility then this is a good job for you.
