Suffolk Transportation Service

I initially came to Suffolk for the free CDL training (which was very throughout provided by the company) and to launch my driving career further. I never intended to stay long but little did I know, I ended up loving this job and kept on for two years. 

Firstly, the staff and management are all extremely nice, helpful and forgiving, which was such a stark contrast to other work environments I’ve been in; it was almost shocking. Second, there are good & bad routes, but out of the two separate routes I worked, most of these kids are brilliant & hilarious and never failed to put a smile on my face, even on my bad days. Being a younger man, this job has helped me  further cultivate the values of patience & kindness and its prepared me to be a good parent when the time comes.

Unfortunately with being younger, I had to find a job that had more hours, higher pay with cheaper & more expansive medical benefits. But these are the only cons I’ll list which applies to my experience, otherwise I would’ve stayed and tried to make a career out of it.

I’ll never forget the priceless memories I made as a school bus driver and I’ll miss my little munchkins dearly!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people who I work for are very professional

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Just getting to and from your destination not that it is stressful but anytime your responsibility is greater all you can think about is safety for yourself and others! Maintaining a good attitude helps!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great everyone is polite and helpful!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I'm a van driver so my job is to make sure the kids are safe  as well as myself!

It was an enjoyable experience. The training was excellent,and administration provided support in handling any situation both professional and personal. My fellow coworkers were friendly and reliable. The bond I formed with my students was both touching and rewarding. Going above and beyond to even help some of them practicing for “spelling tests and other upcoming tests and,going over homework assignments and helping them through the thought progress to correct any eras. It’s a very rewarding position.

If I return to New York this would be the company I would return to.  They are family and treat everyone as a part of their family.  I have not worked in a company that has measured up to how well this company treats their employees.  They are fair, I really loved the people and the environment at Suffolk.  My only reason for not being there, is that I moved to another state because of my military obligations.

A great company to work for.

Typical work day starts at 5:30 a.m. I started working for this company and having a lot of patience, the work I was doing taught me even more about patience. The management was excellent, the cross culture was an even mix. I didn't find anything stressful or difficult about the job as long as you like children and driving everyday was successful. 

I worked here for a few years, I loved it when I first started but once COVID hit this company nosedived quickly and changed. Company has struggled with keeping drivers, supervisors don't support you and the union doesn't have your back. They allow the company to do what they want with little to no ramifications. the union dues that drivers pay every week obviously don't do anything.  There are no medical benefits in this job just 401K, no pension. 

A lively and energetic day from beginning to end. Management is hard at work seeking ways to improve the organization, remaining competitive and proactive in this industry. These improvements, highlights and also emphasis on safety is extended to us in weekly news letters and twice per year refresher classes. Workplace culture is positive, uplifting and caring. I enjoy feeling the sense of accomplishment at the end of each school year.

Company is constantly training and educating employees. Great benefits and bonuses. Flexible hours for people with children.  Great opportunities to move up into administrative/management roles or in house training for CDLs and driving large buses and even transit vehicles. Best part is working with clients and their families to ensure clients are transported in a safe, supportive and comfortable environment.

Great company, the job is very rewarding love to see that you can make a kids day better when they see you in the morning. The company is very organized and they make the job easy for the driver. The pay is good and the work is easy, would recommend for someone who’s older/retired. For someone young it might not be the best choice because you don’t get as many hours as you’d like in the beginning until you get seniority.
