Is it worth moving from postman to parcelforce?

Post by Lawrencepa2014 »

I was just wondering if it was worth the switch? I’m part time and they’re currently advertising at parcel force. My only concern is it says fixed contract. Is that likely to stay fixed?

My advice would be it’s not a great time to be working for Parcelforce

Could say the same about Royal Mail.

Is it likely they’d take me on after a fixed contract? Or do they only do permanent like Royal Mail?

It would depend on the manager at that depot and what they were looking for

If you like lifting Heavy parcels and delivering so many within the hour “ if you don’t suffer from stress then it might be worth it 😎
