    As a part timer
    you are bottom of a small heap
    under short term contract
    you will be treated as such

    You will have the worst rounds and be moved round as and when required(either within your office or either offices)
    You will be given little notice on what days off you have,duties etc
    dont bother going off sick if you want your contract renewed(injuries are common in new starts)
    all staff are now required to drive under the new contracts,so its not like ye olde days where 'driving duties' were the better duties.
    be prepared to work beyond your finish times most days

    As a caveat. I am stating this from experience of offices that are current in RMs 'modernisation' plans
    Im sure there are still offices that are quite decent to work ofr
    however my description is pretty much how it will be in the majority
    however I can advise further if you go for it

    I can confirm this to be a true representation of how things are at Royal Mail in my office.

    I could say a lot more, but I'm not sure that I should!

    (Seniority in our office is non existant and has been for the last 4 years)
