Best thing
You get to be outside every day, walk around 10 miles a day (stay fit), you work with the public, you can forget about your job the second you clock out, finish around 2 so plenty of day left to enjoy. The pay is good for relatively unskilled work.
Worst thing
You have to be outside every day, walk around 10 miles a day (it can hurt), you work with the public!!
Managers are box tickers and seem to have no concept of what the job entails. The only training you get is being told you've done something wrong. The place is held together by the workers, management top to bottom are SHOCKINGLY bad.Royal Mail Employee, May 2024
