      I worked at Australia Post part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      it was close to home and the customers were lovely. Job was easy and brainless.

      Cons

      Management was very unprofessional. Staff were rude to customers and manager was rude to everyone. Bullying by staff clicks and management, lack of employment as very quiet and HR did nothing about it nor did my manager.

      Advice to Management

      Take a hard look at yourself, if you cannot deal with slightly difficult customers, then are you in the right job? As a manager, you are supposed to build your team not make them feel stupid. I have gone on to do bigger and better things, but after leaving this organisation I was made to feel like an idiot.

      I worked at Australia Post full-time

      Pros

      People, culture, opportunities to work across many areas of marketing, product and sales and great opportunities to advance your career (if you show enthusiasm and commitment).

      Cons

      Contrary to belief, you work long hours but can find work life balance if position yourself correctly and will get rewarded for it.

      I have been working at Australia Post full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      great people, excellent opportunity for the business to grow and leverage trust and broad customer base

      Cons

      too many layers of management, very political, lack of accountability at individual level

      Advice to Management

      Due to lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities, jobs are "too safe" to a point where people play the political game rather than push for a better customer outcome

      Pros

      Some great people and a business that is genuinely trying to evolve while not losing sight of their people
      Great opportunity to grow your career in any area

      Cons

      They operate in a regulated environment, making it difficult to generate real change. Some are risk averse and they are impacted by seemingly constant reshuffling/restructures

      Advice to Management

      Continue with your focus on growing and evolving the business without losing sight of your most valuable resource - your people

      The company has many pros. Life/work balance is great, people in general is very friendly with just a very little exceptions.

      IT protocols and rules are tough but the IT guys are great to oro with. They are very knowledgable and supportive which makes the interaction with the department very smooth.
