It is among the 100 best company to work for
Collector (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 23 May 2018
TTC is among best 100 company to work for. This is a union job and that makes it one of the best company to work for because of job security. TTC provides a lot of benefits and a lot of trainings and there is also a good chance of development . Also there is a chance to work a different specialization since TTC has many departments .
Pros
Free ride
Cons
Split shifts
must stay calm

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 2 May 2018
The work pace is a little on the slower side, but that can be expected for a large company producing large scale projects that place a high emphasis on safety.
Productive and fun workplace
Summer Student - Station Ambassador (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 23 April 2018
Fun place to work, exceptional people and all supervisors and managers were very kind. Good breaks and pays well with good benefits. You also Get to come back for 3 years if you have a good review at the end of the term as a student.

Senior Program Control Officer, Business Systems (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 15 April 2018
is a very.nice company to work for. Management is nice and helpful as well as my coworkers. I have enjoyed working at ttc for the short time I have been there. Only complaint I have is the pay rate. Little pay for taking care of little people all day. Pros. fun place to work. Cons. low pay. Was this review helpful?
Great place to work
Database and Software Applications Developer (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 4 April 2018
This is a great place to work and I encourage anyone with the opportunity to work here to do so. The people working there are all friendly, everyone says hi to each other as they pass each other in the hallways. Great opportunity to learn new things about your community.
Fast paced
Streetcar Operator (Former Employee) – Toronto, On – 29 March 2018
Good front line job with a gov't subsidized company. Be ready for lots of overtime, and rude people (riding public). Management are usually former operators, but it seems like they forgot what it was like to be in the seat of an operator. Union at the time was good, but has apparently gone downhill. Very easy to find yourself in trouble if you don't cover your every action without union representation.
Great job if you like driving
Driver (Former Employee) – Toronto, Ontario – 6 March 2018
Good money and benefits. Great pension plan. I would recommend to young person that hasn't started a family yet. Takes time to get used to the different shifts. The employees are very helpful and supportive.
Wonderful

(TTC) - Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Throughout GTA – 7 February 2018
TTC was provided a decent work environment. Hours are okay, pay is good, and the management is somewhat tolerable. I wouldn't say this job is for your typical worker.
Pros
Breaks, PayL
Cons
Long hours, no job advancement
Great employees to work with.
Crime Analyst (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 31 January 2018
Great place to work. The TTC cares care of its employees and its families. Their pension plan is good also. As a pensioner I get the same benefits just like any other employee.
Pros
Good
Cons
None
Bus Operator
Bus Operator (Former Employee) – Wilson Division – 25 January 2018
18 months in, assaulted physically 4 times of my last 6 months, made reports within Transit, nothing to claim after seeing my Dr. diagnosed with P.T.S.D, in claims of time off through W.S.I.B. Transit claims they have no documents pertaining to my claim to W.S.I.B.
Management is a fkning joke at Wilson Division. They are puppets who act like their someone but overall lack the intelligence of their position. Same goes with the Stupidvisors.. most not all, but most are SLOW, Fat and Lazy and pass the buck on to each other when taking care of matters.. they do not like filing or reporting or doing their job.
I only give Kudos to the Drivers and Wicket guys.. that's it, they work hard! Its a tuff skin job.. but when nothing is done about claims of assault, you gotta ask yourself.. am I going to do this for the next 25 years for a company who doesn't have your back? Your just another #.. that's it! replacable

Pros
Benefits and wages
Cons
The General Public are MOFO's to you just for wearing the Uniform, Supervisory Staff are shi8, The Union is Shi8, Your Shop Stewards are a bunch of Stu's.
Harrassments are not taken seriously
Station Supervisor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 24 January 2018
Non-Union Harassment and discriminators are disguised as Managerial discretion. Human Rights and Employee Relations departments need to be outsource, independent and off site.
Union related issues are not represented properly as Union and Management are no longer separate.
