Canada Post Reviews in Calgary, AB Area

Pros

Very good pay and benefits
No expectation to work unpaid OT
Most employees are dedicated and hardworking
Communication with management is quite good

Cons

Employees are very high-maintenance and childish at times
Sense of entitlement among some workers is exceptionally frustrating
Many union reps are difficult to communicate effectively with
Unrealistic expectations during peak season

Pros

Pension, benefits, great on sunny days - if you're outside

Cons

Repitition, mind draining and no actual teamwork - upper management is not in touch with the how the work is done

Advice to Senior Management

Come down to the workfloor and work with the employees (say for a month) to see what the work is like and how it is actually done

Pros

Decent pay, though in a place like Calgary it doesn't pay much more than other available jobs. Also, I feel that most employees are treated equally, fairly and with respect.

Cons

Boring work!! (not so much for the letter carriers, but for people working in the plant, it gets VERY monotonous and dull.) I suggest people do it part time, but not as a full time "career", if they want to keep their brains stimulated.
