RATP Dev

I recently had the opportunity to work with RATP Dev USA, and I couldn't be more impressed with my experience. From the very beginning, the company displayed a strong commitment to their employees, and it truly shows in the positive workplace culture they’ve cultivated.

One of the standout features of RATP Dev USA is their dedication to fostering professional growth. They provide ample training and development opportunities, which not only enhance your skills but also demonstrate their investment in your career. The supportive management team encourages innovation and values employee input, making everyone feel like a vital part of the organization.

Additionally, the work-life balance is exceptional. RATP Dev USA understands the importance of family and personal time, which is reflected in their flexible schedules and understanding of individual needs. This approach creates a healthy and productive work environment where employees feel motivated and valued.

The company's commitment to sustainability and community service is another reason why this is such a great place to work. Being part of a team that prioritizes social responsibility makes the work more meaningful and fulfilling.

Overall, RATP Dev USA stands out as a fantastic employer in the transportation industry. If you're looking for a company that values its employees, promotes career advancement, and encourages a strong work-life balance, I highly recommend considering a position here. Working at RATP Dev USA is not just a job; it's an opportunity to be part of something bigger!

I worked for RATP Dev for a little over two years and overall had a positive experience. The company has a strong focus on safety and maintaining high service standards, which makes it a stable place to work, especially if you value structure and organization. The management team generally tries to keep communication open, though it can vary depending on the department or location.

The benefits and job security are good, and the company offers consistent training opportunities for employees looking to advance. However, internal promotions can be a bit slow, and sometimes decisions feel overly centralized, leaving less room for local input.

Work-life balance is decent, though shifts can be long and schedules sometimes change at short notice — something to keep in mind if you value predictability. The people I worked with were professional and supportive, and there’s a clear emphasis on teamwork.

Overall, RATP Dev is a solid employer for anyone interested in transportation or operations management. It’s not perfect, but it’s reliable, safe, and well-organized — a good place to build experience and grow within a structured environment.

What I enjoy most about my posistion at RATP is that I have several duties that keep my day busy.  I really enjoy working with the costumers.  Knowing that our services help them and without us they would have to stuggle to get around.  I enjoy my working with my team.  Everyone here pulls togther and will assist where ever needed to keep the service going.  My experience here has been a great one.  I was afraid to relocate, fear of the unknown.  I'm so glad I did because I've enjoyed the challenges and my job duties.  I thank my prior Manager for giving me the push I needed to make the move to Solvang, Ca. This is where I plan to stay as long as we have the contract.  When it is over I would like to stat with the company evenif it was to relocate to another area. Thank you for this oppurnity I have been givien to be the Operations Manager at SYVT Solvang, Ca. I look foward to continuing learning and growing with the company. Once again thank you for the opportunity and having the faith in me to do this job as an Operations Manager,

Working at this city bus company was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. If you value your physical health, mental well-being, or any semblance of a personal life, stay far away.

The biggest issue? Overwork. You are treated less like a human being and more like a cog in a relentless, grinding machine. Long, unpredictable shifts are the norm, not the exception. It’s not uncommon to work 12+ hour days with barely any breaks. Forget weekends, forget holidays. Management expects you to be available around the clock, and any request for time off is met with guilt-tripping or outright denial.

You’re reprimanded like a child of you try to stand up for yourself 



The company is new here so, I get that  are working some things out. They don’t know exactly the best way to run things yet. However, a problem I see is that they don’t listen to the drivers when we give our input. They also have a tendency to breach our union contract. There are grievances that are being made about them almost every week. They told me that i wasn’t allowed to request days off with no pay, but when you look at our agreement it clearly says that its allowed. So I dont know the company is new but they are also scandalous. Be careful, and also make sure to write down your hours because people have missing hours on their pay roll!

The people were very friendly at first, but they hide the true work schedule from you for a reason. They do not tell you that you will have no outside life until you have seniority. You must submit a request to have some time for your life. They will schedule 14-15 hour days but you only actually work 8-10. The other time your are clocked out waiting. When you try and talk about it, they just tell you to be patient, your time will come. Then when you quit, they get vindictive and mark you as unhirable so no other city employer can hire you. I applied for a job the next day and was hired immediately, TRANS DEV made sure I could not be hired for it.  

Interviewing was quick and the hiring manager moved fast with an offer and early start date.  Any issues I ran into with onboarding were addressed and resolved in a timely manner. 
The job description matched the actual role and expectations. There is plenty of help and support when needed. 
Workplace culture has been positive. 
the hardest part of the job is juggling so many task and candidates at the same time but that is to be expected in high volume recruiting and is one of the most enjoyable  part of this role. 

Overall my experience so far has been excellent.

If you want a flashback to highschool this is a great company to work. There's so much favoritism and backstabbing,  especially amongst the managers. I've never seen such a variety of incompetent, unprofessional,  arrogant, uneducated and ignorant upper management. The lack of "knowing what to do day to day" rubs off on the drivers who then take their bad attitudes out on the passengers. This company is a great example of what happens when you accidentally get a job but have no idea what to do. Just Google Wheels in Lexington,  KY and you will see what I mean.

It's hard to get time off for appointments. Management is out only for themselves. GM and OPs Management talks down to and about drivers. Most drivers are unhappy but have been there so long they don't really want to start over at another job, most are looking for new employment. The hardest part of the job is trying to stay on schedule with trips due to bad scheduling. Drivers are mandated to work on their day off. You might not get a break but they take at least an hour 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting to know the operators.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Managment constantly changing rules.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, favoritism, bullying and non family just business mindset.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Forever changing rules. Stressful, treated unfairly, have to get trips covered or you're in trouble. Constant reminded that this (your)  job is always on the line.
