Worst management and you get treated like absolute rubbish from allocators and other staff

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worst environment iv ever experienced in a work place

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress and anxiety filled. Get sent to a job. Get yelled at for something that’s not your fault. Get told off for doing to many hours and punished when they are the ones allocating the jobs to the workers so how is it your fault the hours you are doing

We are employed on a 24/7 basis as casual employees. Its a great environment to work in and great people to work with. We usually start in the morning at about 6am and travel all over the Perth region and some country jobs. Management were great and were always there if you needed them. The hardest part of the job is when its hot and there is no shade for hours without a break, which can lead to dehydration and heat exhaustion. Plus we often get sunburnt during summer and that's with sunscreen. The easy part of the job is on sites where there is no requirement to do anything except sit in our utes until the shift is over.

1. Typical day at work
There never a typical day of traffic controlling unless your stuck on the same job site.
2. What I learned
I learned how to be a traffic controller, How to come out on the road safely, how to put signs out correctly and the distances, keep a close eye on traffic and see if there's any problems, if the drivers are getting confused with the set up make it easier for them to understand.
3. I got on with all the co workers, im a team player, you need to work together in traffic controlling make the day go a lot smoother.
5. Most enjoyable 
every job is a different location

A typical day as a traffic controller with you arrive at the office or on site depending where you are sent for work. There will be a toolbox then when that is completed the supervisor or man in charge of the job that will hand out ROLs and TCPs or the job at hand, then we go out and plan where the set up should be then we set it up. while the job is in progression we are meant to watch the traffic for any potential hazards that may to occur that will injur the contrustion workers and try to stop any accidents from occuring. Then when the contruction job is finished you pack up the site and leave.

You need alot of patience to be in this industry as you are standing for long amounts of time, I have learned different ways of handling the signs and other equipment and my co-workers are nice and easy going to chat to.

The hardest part of the job is you don't always get a break and there isn't always a toilet but the most enjoyable when doing this work is when people drive past and smile or wave at you and being treated the same as the others.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Turn up on site you don’t have enough staff to perform the duties. The TGS is a wrong sister all-round sh.t show.

Unethical, backstabbing and toxic culture.  They under pay especially good experienced staff.  Claim to plenty of on going work which is just not the case      There are some ethical traffic companies out there but not many.      I worked there as a team leader and it was a nightmare.   Many false allegations and lies.  I am now 58 and have a history of 15 years in law enforcement, engineering and teaching.  This was by far the worst employer ever including other traffic companies.
