It is one of the good points for TransLink.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Mix of planning strategy and executing plans to deliver value

New mangers (last 12 months) in the business technology services department don’t know technical stuff, don’t trust the employees and ruin the working environment. Most colleagues are silent quitting. It used to be a great place to work. Now managers threaten you with full time onsite work, while writing they support you, your mental health and your work life balance. 

I was hired at Translink through a temp agency to help the IT department through a busy period.  I was then asked to stay on and cover for a maternity leave as a Confidential Assistant.

I enjoyed meeting and greeting people, organizing calendars and appointments.  

Great managers!

The hardest part was ending my assignment

I enjoyed working for a great company and learned organization

You genuinely work with great people and that's what probably keeps everyone.

Opportunity to complete some great work. Participate in different initiatives to really make a difference within the community/lower mainland.

Lack of cohesiveness within the team. You feel almost on your own the entire time.
- Very corporate environment, throughout majority of the subsidiaries. Oldschool corporate

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work culture is worst, especially the management.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The torturous environment of my manager who does not acknowledges any good.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worst at least for my department

No breaks which affects safety .Buses are not properly maintained, cleaning is mostly done to the outside of the bus whilst the interior is not maintained properly .Driver are is quite dirty .Some buses should have been already retired but they are still doing runs .

Do this “only”if you have no other option! They will spend the money to train you, then spend the rest of the time trying to find a way to terminate you. There is no Executive accountability. The worst managed company you’ll ever find. It stays in business due to taxpayer funding. No budget accountability!

Most departments are hybrid but mostly work from home. They are incredible at encouraging a work life balance. I feel comfortable discussing my concerns with all management. There are plenty of opportunities to grow and learn.
