Criminally Negligent

Pros

A few good people trying to do the right thing

Cons

Executives and Directors place profit over safety. Chief Operating Officer even insisted on installing a product onto the trams that failed to get engineering approvals. CEO is a young boy who put his trust onto Executives who have questionable moral ethics. Other managers in Infrastructure and OCMS are negligent and incompetent. Deliberately ignore safety laws, and statutory obligations. Ignorant to current acceptable industry practices and too arrogant to upkeep their knowledge. Supervisors are complacent and does not check that workers are actually doing the work to maintain the network and rolling stock. This is not a company you want to be in. Department of Transport should spill all the managers and never give the franchise to Keolis Downer.

Not bad

Pros

Rostering system makes it easy to plan ahead. Great leave entitlements, up to 7 weeks per year for full time.

Cons

Currently negotiating new EBA, it remains to be seen how the conditions compare to current ones. A push toward part time work force (casualisation). Depending on depot, some of the trams are ageing and repeatedly faulty.
