TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) reviews

Female employees not treated fairly. Cases of sexual harassment and sexual assault still occur and management sweeps these incidents under the rug still. After 30 years of seminars, corporate policies things remain as they were when I started in the early 80's. Such as discrimination, leering at females, inappropriate touching, name calling and when female employees complain to their boss they are told to keep it quiet. Then management refuses to investigate. If a file is created management will still close it down to save face. This leads to female employees leaving the company. Confidentiality concerns exists Commission wide. Seems everyone knows everyone else's business including if you have a serious disease, financial dread or other major events in your life. Non union employees scared and unable to stand up for themselves and when they do they get hammered from executives. In turn their pay is docked or they are told to go home and stay there a few days. Union members have it better than non union.

No work-life balance - scheduling works on a seniority system so drivers are stuck working weekends and long days with split shifts for 15years+ until they can start signing work that is straight Mon-Fri dayshifts. You are just a number - being late is absolutely unacceptable (2 times in a year is cause for suspension). They demand proof for any incidents related to family emergencies. Any accidents or incidents in the job are heavily scrutinized and you're always on trial trying to prove your innocence. Being a woman in the industry is an immediate negative - male supervisors undermine you and don't believe you (especially for calls about equipment malfunctions). Everyone hates you - the public, management, coworkers who screw you in the routes. Everyone is miserable. This company is literally a "grind out 30miserable years and enjoy a nice retirement" company.
