    All Perth WALess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Worst traffic company
    The good thingsThe staff outside of the office were lovely
    The challengesThe pay is absolutely diabolical compared to every other traffic control company. There are so many employees in the company that you constantly have to plague the office to send you out for a job. Staff in the office are so rude and have no phone etiquette at all.
