Royal Mail

Featured Royal Mail job reviews

Best thing
The ease of my daily tasks, most work just requires you to use common sense. I’m left on my own or with my colleagues to get on with my work, so I find that the management is very laid back. Also the flexibility, start times and lengths of my shifts are available to change around the clock. The people I work with are easy going and good people, which makes my working days better. Lastly the job pays well.

Worst thing
The lack of responsibility mainly, although this is good because it reduces stress, I feel as if my voice isn’t heard by Royal Mail. For example, if I have suggestions on how I think the workplace could be improved I highly doubt my thoughts would be considered. There is a big lack of progress, no job openings seem to be available for a permanent position within my site, regardless of whether this is a job within the sorting centre or offices.

Best thing
The people, good pay

Worst thing
Haphazard management, lazy workers not taken to account. We're paid the same but some people literally do nothing and turn up late, yet nothing happens. When a contractual hour increase is available it goes to whomever is there longest (fine) but if you have the same start date whomever is oldest gets the job regardless of skill. Age discrimination. Holiday pay discrimination
