Yarra Trams

You work a paid 8 hour 45 min day via a 7 day a week roster that basically runs like this --a early shift-- a split  shift -- a middle --and then a late shift that gives you 2 days off per week , but like what happens often is that one of your days off gets canceled in what's known as a DOC ( Day off cancelled ) its paid to you as overtime, they are not compulsory and you can request that you have your day off returned but employees are expected to work a certain amount of O/T within the terms of their individual agreements that they have arranged with their team managers, but to be honest  if its money your after then they can help in pushing your yearly earnings up and over the 100k a year mark 
 all shifts have a meal break that can range from no less than 45 min, too meal breaks running 1 hour 45 min, it depends on the day if it's a weekend or public holiday etc ect. and being shift work your days off differ week to week and it's very possible to have the last 2 days of the week off ( Fri & Sat ) followed the next weeks days off being the first 2 days ( Sun & Mon ) giving you a 4 day weekend but equally you can have that scenario in reverse and with 2 DOC's thrown in, one on the Monday and the other on the Friday and end up doing a 12 day straight., the worst case scenario being that you have a 12 day straight with the minimum hours off between shifts from the Saturday to the Sunday in the middle of your 12 days being just 10 hours off between sign off and sign on...
If you live out in the outermost  suburbs you may have to spend a hour or so traveling in either direction,  that leaves you with a limited number of hours for eating cleaning family and sleep before doing it all again.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Relationships you build with other drivers not only from your depot but from other depots. Every day is different, keeps it more exciting!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Proactively determining if someone is going to cross. The public not understanding road rules, the public not paying attention ie noise cancelling headphones, look at their phones. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is good, have good relationships helps

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on shift, always 20-30 early to allow time to grab a coffee, have a bit of banter with mates, check in with my manager, blessed that I have a great relationship with my manager! Then time to hit the road!

I work as cleaner in Yarra trams at southbank tram depot, everyday we are having new task like remove the graffiti and mop on the tram floor. sometimes we have to work as a maintenance helper in tram pits as a result we come to know how trams works and how it can be operated.
we have to manage timings as per tram numbers.
culture is too familiar we can enjoy doing work with work partners 
hardest part of job is helping in pits as we have to lift and hold thing with heavy weight.
every part of work is enjoyable.

An atmosphere were as an individual I was given the freedom to put all my skills to precisely as needed with minimum supervision.
Procedures and programming were set in writing easy to follow and with assigned tasks for everyone involved in any of the jobs be that a special event, reconstruction/upgrade or network daily customer services.
Amazing culture to work in and very supportive environment from everyone.
Truly one of the best companies I had the pleasure to spend 20 years.
 

Great place to work, meeting and mixing with lots of people from all different cultures and everyone getting along. Just like one big happy family. 
Great ammenities in lunch rooms...... Table tennis, pool tables somewhere nice to sit while your on a break.
People look out for each other.

Fun workplace, great people and fantastic conditions.
 Problem is haven't learnt enough and after nearly 11 years im becoming a bit stale.
Management and co workers are really good people.
Hardest part of the job is that it gets very boring at times and it dosent challenge me at all.
Most enjoyable part of job is the people are great.

Pay is fabulous but you will have no life thanks to the rotating shift roster. Long days and stressful both on the road and at the depot. Management is very quick to put blame on drivers for situations out of their control. You are guilty until proven innocent

Supervise staff on road, deploy and allocate equipment and area for staff to work. Attend to staff with issues job related. Melbourne Magistrates court appearances. Writing of incident briefs and statements. Overall Supervision and running of a team of 17 Authorised Officers.

Not a good coulture management  is sub standard  poor workmanship can be bullying  in some cases I'd seen  not much to gain in the way o f skill work procedere  is still on stone age

Never ever work for this organisation. Poor management and very badly run company with many dodgy workplace practices. never ever work for this company it's a very closed shop at middle management level all protecting each other with serious work place problems.
