After working here for a short time I left without a job to go on to (but now in a better paid role with an excellent culture). Very weak, archaic and toxic leadership and management style. Unfortunately the organisations culture is to retain ineffective senior leads and to lose competent staff. Do not be blinded by the good salary and be sure to ask what the staff turnover has been within a 6 month period, as I am one of many to leave in a very short period of time and this will give you a good indication as to how the function is led. Speaking to long term staff they have shared the organisation isn't willing to address problematic senior leads/middle managers and unlikely to change. 

Tread cautiously and do your research before you accept the position. 

There is no such thing as a typical day at TfGM, as each day is varried. I have learnt a lot through being involved in various projects both voluntary and work specific to my role. Through my work as a project manager, I am most knowledgeable about performance management in terms of best practice, understanding what is required from each involved party, the drivers and how to make it a success and why it can fail. 
The most enjoyable parts of the job are the variety of the work and the people I come into contact with.

TfGM is becoming a major player within the passenger transport industry.
Changes in legislation mean that more control of services are being returned to TfGM.
The benefits package is one of the best in the North West.
The pension scheme is second to none.
Opportunities for the right candidates are regularly posted on the company Intranet

I have worked for TfGM for 6 years but have reached a point where I need a change as I have found progression very difficult. 
Training budgets are low so progression is very difficult unless you enter the organisation at a lower level than you are experienced to reach.
The benefits are quite good but be prepared to work long hours and work strictly to a ‘chain of command’.

This company has lots of policies and procedures in place to ensure it is viewed as an equal opportunities employer.
Unfortunately in reality it's overall culture is not what you but who you know, with an overall attitude of jobs for the boys/girls.
The hardest part of any job at TfGM is trying to make sure your face fits and you don't upset any manager or your progress will be difficult.

I was taken on as a new ASB BUS STATION SUPERVISOR, The rolebis brand new so doesn't really have a job description, on going SN stations i found training to be minimal or none at all, my shifts were all over less that 11 hours between shoft finishing at 11pm them having make way home to be back in work at 7am, the role has since been changed to OSS( operation site support)which is more fitting 

TfGM is a great place to work, the team are highly knowledgeable and friendly.
As a customer assistant, working on the phones, it is a hard job. Most of the complaints I have are regarding the customers - some of them being very difficult to deal with and it does affect your mental health.
I would go back to this company in a heartbeat if I could land a non-customer facing role!

This is the delivery arm for transport for the 10 combined authorities and is very successful in securing budgets for projects. 

I found it a very good place to work. Excellent working conditions and flexible working arrangements. Nice management.

This was a nice organisation to work for, and the people were nice. Unfortunately I was made redundant due to the lack of job security, which was disappointing. 

However, with good facilities, nice offices and free tram travel for all employees, there are some great benefits.

I started an apprenticeship for Transport for Greater Manchester in 2016. Within this apprenticeship I gained vast knowledge in customer service, software installation, hardware installation and time management.
