Make it known what your level of Professionalism is don't believe that because you presented them with a Resume`that it is gonna be used in your Salary consideration. Know that they make you wait 6-9 months before you are eligible for position consideration. They aren't above using you for tips(ideas to be presented to the Owners for bonuses) the Supervisors/Trainers won't tell you about the bonuses that are due you and they steal checks. Harrassment in the workplace sexual and otherwise is the chief reason why they have such a high turnover rate. SCR has been a major contributor to the Southside of Chicago Workforce since 1986 and is another reason their payscale was below rate. A Drivers Position with A CDL IN HAND ALREADY pays $16 at other companies. They initial gave $10, based off another position that was $40,000 yearly and for the Six almost Seven months I was there I made $20,000, someone can't count. I had A Years School Bus Driving Record that paid $13.49(2011/2012), before coming to SCR and they claim comprehensive salary, $10 is An Aide's pay. And they undercutting some of the Employees when it comes to promotion scales. Some come in at $16 and once promoted to Dispatchers, Coordinators , Road Supervisors, or othe jobs they receive that $18+ that an Experienced Driver is to receive. It is undestandable that SCR's owners had to negotiate a contract with Chicago Public Schools in order to pay your Employees but off of a $60-$100 contractual Agreement per vehicle, and both the Driver and Aid have to be paid, they should be compensated. Why I am I receiving the short end of the pay scale?! I was there unless I already given notice of Doctor's Appointments, I kepted my personal conflicts to a minimum and I was not interested in dating one of the sexual harassing Trainers, or wanted to be part of the crowd. Be aware, that your lack of being a mattress, or not allowing yourself to be used will end your Employment--along with one tap(fender bender) that caused no damaged to a Company Vehicle, because someone wanted your Route and Hours.

Accepting the rate of pay contract and believing that everything would be corrected via Annual Review, thieves abide in this Company and they need an Audit of their Accounting Department, The Family Nepotism is horrible here, and should be challenged.

Having the Safety Manager or one of the Coordinators watching you for signs of some assumed "episode" found out that some people from my Church, and various other jobs worked here and instead of them getting to know me you allowed someone that didn't know a thing about my medical history or real medical knowledge tell you a story that was found to be untrue via a medical review. Someone that I had dated previously also worked there and he was still mad about being dumped, only it was just a progression of you not taking/giving your time and so you were replaced. I don't believe that anyone's personal love life should be taken into account in a working environment. That's really not the Company's place or call to let the rumor mill overshadow job performance, or promotion expectations.

She always had a major attitude at 5:15 in the morning I never thought this should have been the case. She would holler and yell that she never believed I was a match for the position, mainly because she thought I was far younger than her years of 55+ and after a few of her outbursts-- I let her ass have it. I have a number of years driving and a pleasant attitude before getting behind the wheel is a must. You cannot allow someone to anger you because your day is behind the wheel and in a vehicle with persons you may not know. A fellow coworker has no business harassing you, about your abilities, your homelife, or your personal hygiene, where they may not have any. Bathing is important to maintain your self esteem, vehicle atomsphere, and just you riders enjoyment. This worker, turns out was a Trainer and a bully!!! Her professionalism or lack of, was the reason I had to cuss her behind out. You will not personally attack me, while in the Job's parking lot or in the Employee Lounge, without one knowing me and two without just cause. Once I found out who the Manager was of our Department I let him know about various Mornings or Afternoon where this was an issue. Did not hesitant to admitting I cursed that heifer out and proceeded with my day. Yes, SCR Medical Transportation and I have parted ways. I found that the majority of the Employees lack tack, the Management does not do a thorougher background check into their employees mental state and doesn't care if their employee base is well fed, supported, or educated before hitting the road. Some of the company come there without proper road etiquette, little to no driving experience and some don't take their jobs seriously. To them it is a dating adventure and if someone gets a look at you Resume` and they find that you can be a challenge to their advancement you are soon either fired or written up within the first year. If they can sooner than that, for fear you may be promoted before them. Some positions have been empty for months or have a high turn over rate and whether than see the person that will do the job "correctly" ie write ups, or timely Job performance reviews. Everything is "you wash my back and I'll see what I can do for you" wink, wink.

At the time the hours were a complete match for my Son's school scheduling and they hired on the spot, which wasn't something I'd anticipated.
