Letter Carrier (Employé actuel) – Mississauga, ON – 5 décembre 2018
More work than you bargained for. Routes are weighed purposefully during off peak season without accounting for fliers, so when it is peak season you will be absolutely slammed, and then find out before you can leave you have to count, collate, and bundle 8 sets of fliers for a third of your route which is never properly accounted for, and that you have 80-100 parcels to deliver as well.
Be prepared to either break the rules and assume all the liability for doing so, so that you might actually go home in less than 9 hours, or work for 10+ hours a day when you were promised 8. This includes rules regarding your health and safety. I am currently suffering from sciatica as a result of my route and being given the run around by management so that I can't claim an IOD.
On top of all this, even your coworkers will sell themselves out for the promise of overtime. Management's solution for every problem is to throw overtime at it until it goes away. Then you will ineveitably hurt yourself, or suffer some serious stress. Then they will attempt to blame you after coercing, bullying, and otherwise manipulating you into overworking yourself and leave you in the cold when the natural outcomes of these tactics produce themselves.
The real icing on the cake is how your customers treat you, with good reason. As I've said, breaking the rules so that you're not working 10 hours a day is very common. This results in poor service. This results in customers shouting at you, thinking you're carding them because you're lazy, when it's really because each parcel in an apt building takes about plus... 3 minutes to deliver, you've got 85 of them and 11 more apt buildings to go. In a 4-5 hour window. Before you've even touched your mail and fliers. And 200 houses to deliver door-to-door after.
Take my advice, sincerely. Do not become a letter carrier. You will probably come to regret it. moins

Letter Carrier (Employé actuel) – Hamilton, ON – 4 décembre 2018
They claim a weight limit for your satchel is 35lbs but when the company weighs the mail they omit the weight of flyers, which can weigh the most. They can and will force you to do overtime after you complete your full days duties which on most days takes between 10-12 hours to complete when you're unfamiliar with the route you're doing. The routes are estimated to get between 20-40 parcels per day, but in reality you get between 80-100 per day. Every part of your day is measured in time values except for dealing with, preparing (collating, which takes a long time and will cause carpal tunnel) or even delivering flyers. So they design a work day that based on estimates during off peak season that will take the average person 8 hours without flyers! This means the flyers that you have to deliver because they are priority (have to be delivered before real mail) will push you to a 10-12 hour day. This job is very difficult, it takes lots of organization and time management and it is by no means a walk in the park. What makes it worse is seeing job ads for a dollar less to wrap presents at the mall. 19.86 an hour seems decent until your pension, union dues and taxes all get deducted at an average of around $800 or cheque. Doesn't feel so high paying once you see your take home on a pay stub and you reflect on your work week waking 20-25 km a day in the heat and cold up and down stairs with sometimes around 80 lbs on your back. Thanks for legislating us back to work Trudeau, profits of small and large companies Canada wide was more important than the working conditions and work/life plus... balance of 50,000 employees across Canada.

Fast Paced

On the job training is not great, very fast paced and can be overwhelming when you first start. Once you get passed the 3 month mark things start to get easier and more enjoyable.

Toxic environment @Gateway, Mississauga
Maintenance Technician (Ancien employé) – Mississauga, ON – 1 décembre 2018
Worked as a technician (Maintenance mechanic) at Gateway Canada Post facility at Mississauga for 3 years.
A typical day would start with a brief 5 minutes meeting where tasks are distributed.
I did not learn anything useful to my career in my 3 years there, a lot of my tasks used to be vacuuming and cleaning machines, definitely worth my university degree.
Management is purely abusive, toxic, full of vindictiveness, politics (a lot more than any average company I worked for) and every person in the building knows who they are. Years of battle with the workers union CUPW implement a culture of screwing over as much as you can your workers, micro managing, ignoring real life complaints and issues.
Culture is toxic environment, cameras anywhere, lack of trust, rumors everywhere, lack of communication, abuse of power. (10 Superintendents quit in my 3 years, and roughly 30 technicians)
The toughest part in the job was dealing with non ignorant mangers and superintendents, lack of appreciation, vindictive bosses, abuse of power and trust dealing with very high level turnover.
Most enjoyable part was my last day.

Xmas Temp Postal Clerk
Postal Clerk (Employé actuel) – Greater Toronto Area, ON – 29 novembre 2018
A typical day of work is very repetitive, you just scan parcels inside the depot constantly and "sort" them. Your job is to take parcels from large container and placing them in the right carts for couriers to take to the cars and deliver. Management mostly leaves you alone, letting you taking your break when you want and not hovering over you. Fellow employees are nice, very blue-collar rough-talking union men and women. The wage is significantly higher than minimum in my province. The position pays as of Nov. 2018 - $19.86/hour.
As a temporary, you get a very small amount of hours, minimum 4 hours. My shift typically starts at 5am, when no buses are running yet - either walk, bike, drive, or Uber there which sucks. You get paid breaks, and can take them whenever you want. Your ability to get more hours depends on if there is more work to be done or not.
Your ability to move up in the company is heavily dependent on whether you are able to do full-time.

Postal Clerk and Letter Carrier (Employé actuel) – Windsor, ON – 17 novembre 2018
Be prepared to work in an unsafe and toxic work environment. no one cares about your safety or your rights including a crooked union! you will receive the heaviest work with minimal guidance, not to mention less pay and they only hire you as a causal.

Canada post used to be a good job
Letter Carrier (Employé actuel) – Toronto, ON – 16 novembre 2018
The dynamics have changed completely , the workload is very heavy and ever growing the wages have dropped significantly and the injuries on duty are sky rocketing due to stress overburdening and unsafe conditions .
Times are changing but don't get discouraged
Letter Carrier & Step-Van Driver (Employé actuel) – Toronto, ON – 13 novembre 2018
I've been a Canada Post letter carrier for nearly 7 years. I love my job. I love working hard and being productive. I love the feeling of providing service to the neighbourhood I am in.
For those that look at Canada Post employees as lazy, unwilling and useless employees just know that we bust our butts delivering mail and parcels all while trying to be safe on the job and make it home to our families.
I love my job. And I'm proud to be a letter carrier.
