Postman (Current Employee) - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - 18 May 2022
Once was a good job but now it’s all about productivity and profits for shareholders at the expense of staff welfare/ health and customer service , Very physical job which so called managers think is easy , it’s not and they just want more and more work from you , has become a very physically and mentally draining job which I wouldn’t recommend for the way that you are treated like by ‘managers’ , I use the term manager loosely as they are either graduates with no knowledge of the business or failed post persons looking for an easier ride , but then trying to push you to do the job that they couldn’t keep up with

Postman (Former Employee) - Ware, Hertfordshire - 25 June 2022
Very stressful environment to work in. Managers constantly looking over your shoulder why in the depot. Expecting you to do a larger amount of work than you can physically do in a day.
Pros
Good work hours
Cons
