Pros

Dedicated and committed staff passionate about keeping Ontario safe.

Cons

Under the former CEO Michael Beard, the organization lost its focus. He killed morale; lost sight of the public safety mandate; moved the office to an isolated industrial area near the airport; instituted a control and command and paranoid management style; and completely botched an IT project that cost the organization millions of dollars. He was an utter and unmitigated disaster.

Pros

The only pro is their salary even their benefits are trash.

Cons

Zero stars if I could give it to them. This place is SLAVE WORK! NEVER work for them. I left a company I was at for nearly a decade to take this risk at a new opportunity with TSSA with a new HR team. I was under the impression that was going to be a great opportunity for my professional development but was easily proven wrong! (Little did I know). With their toxic work culture right away I was advised to watch out for the HR Director and that she was someone to look out for. I saw all colleagues eating at their desk never taking a break, worried to not look unproductive. There was turnover in their department prior to getting hired, this should have been a red flag! There was looming energy of perfectionism, no team communication and darn right toxic work environment. I was trained for literally 2 weeks and never had a formal sit down with my direct manager as to how I was doing or where to improve. I was let go of after a month of an half with NO explanation. Best advice I can give is STAY AWAY FROM TSSA!

Pros

Public safety and pride in working for TSSA. Stable organization that exist to keep Ontarians safe.

Cons

No career progression and opportunity for advancement, that lead to the Union coming in. Salary increases are very minimal. High turnover in Support functions, especially IT and HR. HR team has seen high turnover over the last year. It is very difficult to build trust with the team that constantly changes. The HR Leadership is not aligned, the team has lost strong talent.
