It's challenging and exciting as hard worker energetic always willing to learn. Good listener and good communication skills I've learned a lot from working.
Time management - always working according to time/target.
Independence and team work - collaborative work
Management semi authoritative - old generation style
Friendly but old fashioned
Strikes and not being able to deliver, due to strikes
Support and loving environment
I enjoyed working at this company, the people, the salary was great I will go back if given an opportunity to be back at work. I do recommend working there.
Pros
Free gifts
Cons
Flaxable hours
As this is a state company I took all the cases I handled with utmost seriousness they deserved, whether it was 10 cents lost or 100 000 rands, the principle applies throughout. So it was a challenging job as I would as thorough with a case concerning a senior executive as I would a junior employee.
Pros
Independent decision making
Cons
Unstable management
Lots of reading and u'll know more places and postal codes around South Africa.Sometimes u'll do unexpected mistakes like taking a parcel to a wrong destination if you never thought yourself to read.
I have learned advanced MS Office, Management skills and training people. The management was good and the workplace culture was pleasant. Some employees under my supervision were not coping with their duties and I had to make sure that they produce even if I had to repeat again and again. The most interesting part f the job was when I had to analyze reports and present to management.
I worked at the post office during the strike and really enjoyed and appreciated the experience, it was a contract that did not pay us well but the company it self its a good company.
Pros
Housing allawence
Cons
Long hours
it gets busy in the morning, whereby we have to do a long of capturing and administrative duties in the morning. ive learned to work in a team and sharpen my skills in office administration and microsoft office. the management are not willing to asist the staff that is willing to develop themselves. and my co-workers are a great team to be arund, very possitive and assisting. the hardest part of the job is when the is a complain about insufficient information we provided and when the system is down, we do manual capturing which is strainers. the most enjoyable part of my job, i would say its determined by an individual, some would say the flexi hours are great then i personally love the challenging environment which is really unexpected and great to be around

Excellent benefits, stable and very secure company to work. I regret leaving the Post Office. I would definitely recommend anybody to work for the South African Post Office and if given an opportunity I would gladly run back.
The company is big, but it lacks certain structures that are required to groom new employees and no form of training is given to better enhance/ understand the organizational needs, no trademark methods of approaching challenges are used, the company is divided unnecessarily, long chain of commands.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
Divisions within the company
