To further enhance the work experience for women, Sunset Transportation offers a wide array of comprehensive benefits. These include full benefits packages, a 401(k) match, tuition reimbursement, work-from-home flexibility, wellness stations, and both maternity and paternity leave. Such benefits are designed not only to support work-life balance but also to promote the overall well-being of all employees. The company’s corporate culture is deeply rooted in the principles of work-life balance for employees and providing high-touch service to customers. This recent accolade aligns with previous recognitions received in 2023, reinforcing Sunset’s sustained efforts to remain one of the premier workplaces for women in the transportation and logistics sectors.
