Becuse it is such a large corporatoin, there are opporunities for developement in many areas. I have taken courses, paid by Canada Post to improve my skills and abilities. I have had the opportunity over the years to participate in several developmental assignments and work with many organizational and quality improvement teams. With the present contract there is also job security, and a great benefits plan. There are unions and associations that work to protect employees, and health and safety is a primary concern to the corporation. As long as we maintain our profitablitlty, we are looking good into the future.
Minpunten
The computers cannot function with the programs that need to be run, and therefore, it is difficult to get your work done, in the scheduled time frame. It is painful to complete this form as the computers run so slowly. There are times when postions go to less qualified but better postioned individuals based on personal factors, but that happens everywhere. As for letter carrier work, the job is physically taxing, and more difficult than it appears. Customers who call seem to be unaware that as a corporation, we contribute to the government coffers each year, and do not drain the taxpayers.
