Pros

The only pro to working for National Express is that you get a 1 hour break. The salary is alright for the little that you do.

Cons

Management hide themselves in the office whilst you're out there on your feet doing nothing. Mundane tasks to do, too little work for too many staff. I've noticed that staff members are very lazy probably as a result of the gruelling shift pattern they work. The coach station was a very dirty environment.

Pros

Structured days, so you know what to expect before you arrive. No one looking over your shoulder. You obviously need to work within company guidelines and all applicable laws but essentially you have autonomy over your day. Traffic, awkward customers or vehicle reliability issues are part of the job but really bad days pretty rare overall. Overtime is paid if your shift runs long and extra shifts are often available to those who want them.

Cons

Bad traffic happens. The customer base is mostly fine but definitely includes chancers, blaggers and the outright rude. The most popular 'day-time' rotas are full of long-term staff so new starters to end up working the more anti-social hours.
