RecommendsNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Post Office full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good pay and holiday entitlement. Good support from line management. Always busy and a base of regular customers.
Cons
Very uncertain, I was made redundant and although I received a fair redundancy package, there was no support or help to find employment elsewhere in the business. Some of the training was very unorganised - I started a people management course through the business which seemed to end abruptly, never to be spoken about again. I also felt the unions representing employees made things difficult for me as a manager.... Certain employees had the attitude - you can’t make me do something I don’t want to do or I’ll get the union involved. I was regularly threatened with union intervention when asking employees to do fair and straightforward tasks. The most frustrating thing with the unions was losses. Towards the end of my employment, the union stopped line managers from pursuing colleagues that had lost money/currency/stock. This was great for employees as they could make mistakes with no repercussions, but for me it meant I would lose a percentage of my bonus. It felt like the customer service advisors had lots of backing, but you were on your own as a manager.

With the volume of redundancy’s happening within the business, there should be an organised plan to help ALL staff through the process. Look into how the unions work as my job was made 10 x harder even though I always treated my staff fairly and with respect.

Pros
(To clarify, I worked in a sub Post Office, so the store was split into halves, the other half being a newsagent desk, where I worked) - The staff were very friendly and welcoming when I first started - My hours were good - Good workplace and you are kept busy (except when it is very quiet)
Cons
- At times it could get very busy and customers would get annoyed - Lack of staff - When it was too quiet there was nothing else to do - I was 17-18 when I worked there and my pay did not increase. Therefore I was working below minimum age for a few months
