Pros and cons of working at Department of Transport and Main Roads

Pros

  • The best thing about working at TMR are the hours and the flexibility. It enables me to have a work-life balance and actually spend time outside of the office.

  • The people are friendly and incredibly supportive and encourage you to ask questions as much as possible.

  • The amount of opportunities there are - I'm going from CSB to MSQ, which is such a cool chance.

  • I really like the Graduate program training they offer to us graduates. I am also interested in more internal face-to-face and online training.

  • The flexibility TMR provides is amazing.

Cons

    • Promotions and career progression are very slow.

    • Lots of red tape and approvals required before applying changes to a technical environment which can slow productivity.

    • There is not a lot of work for someone in my role in this team, so the work I am involved in does not match the work of my role.

    • There are no other TMR grads in my team and it's easy to feel pretty disconnected.

    • The company's office is in an inconvenient place where commuting can be a challenge.
