Postal Delivery Officer (Former Employee) – Newcastle NSW – 12 September 2018

Cons
Nil
not stress work place

National FP&A Manager Mail Operations (Former Employee) – Strathfield NSW – 24 July 2018
Australia Post was /is undergoing a lot of change and my main issue was the Operations Dept made changes e.g structural with no inclusion or input from Finance. That made Finance come under fire and seem irrelevant.

Long hours without recognition, political
great to be able to get mail to individuals on the mail run

SubContractor (Former Employee) – Adelaide SA – 2 July 2018
I have been working in Australia post as a sub contractor from five and half years but work conditions have been gone from worse to worst. There was paid waiting time for express if it’s late but now they expand the time from 7am to 8.30am even some times says strait no to pay for the waiting time regardless of time. Not a single cent paid for sorting parcels, arranging them and loading them in van which takes at least 4 hours in the morning. Poor behaviour of staff make it worse.There is no increase in pay when they add capturing photos of all the safe drop parcels and cards left for customers to collect parcels but takes more hours of subcontractors . As a result poor service of delivery and in affective communication with customer is increasing day by day.
NEED To THINK NOW !

Category and Product Development Manager (2yrs) (Current Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 3 June 2018
A company is only as good at the manager or leader you work fo.
In the Case of Australia post its a great company if you are fortunate to have a progressive leader and not a micro manager.
