Robert

<h4>When did you start working at Royal Mail?</h4>
It was back in June 2017 about 8 months into my retirement that I started.
<h4>What position do you hold at Royal Mail?</h4>
I work in the distribution centre sorting the mail.
<h4>Tell me about a typical day at work?</h4>
I started at 2pm and set up the Yorks (cages) ready to segregate the mail. A lorry arrives, and we unload it and take the mail through to be sorted.&nbsp;
<h4>What made you choose this job at Royal Mail?</h4>
I had been retired for 8 months after working for M&amp;S for 32 years. My sons are both postmen and I knew what it is like to work for Royal Mail so when we saw a holiday cover opportunity pop up I just went for it.&nbsp;
<h4>What was your application process like?</h4>
It was fine, I filled in the form, did an arithmetic test and 4 days later I started work. The people in the office were a great help
<h4>What surprised you most when you started?</h4>
Nothing, I had some help there though because of my sons already being with Royal Mail, I knew what to expect and quite a few of the people too.&nbsp;
<h4>Did you receive any training before you started?</h4>
Yes, I did. My manager showed me how to do the job and all of the bits that goes with it.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
<h4>What do you like most about your job?</h4>
I love everything about my job, really! People always say that it is so nice that I am so positive about my work. I just want to help so I really am someone who just says, let’s just get it done and enjoy it, you know.&nbsp;
<h4>What do you dislike most about your job?</h4>
It is a shame that some people don’t like change and can get down about things, I have to remind them that in my experience, change can be a good thing, life is what you make it.&nbsp;
<h4>What are your fellow team members like?</h4>
Oh, they are great, really fantastic. It is a great group of guys who make everyone feel welcome. Teamwork is the key, you have to share the load and work together to do a great job.&nbsp;
<h4>Do you receive on-the-job support from management?&nbsp;</h4>
The management is fantastic. They are helpful, they have a good sense of humour and they are good communicators.&nbsp;
<h4>What would you tell someone who was considering applying for a role like yours?</h4>
Go for it! You will absolutely love it!&nbsp;
<h4>Would you recommend your job to a friend?</h4>
Yes, I really would recommend it.&nbsp;
<h4>Is there anything else you would like to add?&nbsp;</h4>
I have been around a while and even though I was retired, I have lots of experience and knowledge to share with the people I work with now. They don’t all know what I did before and that once upon a time I was a manager of a big Company too, so I do know what it is like.Sometimes just helping them to see that there is always a way to get something done, there is no need to get stressed out, just work through the problem. I love that I can pass that sort of advice on to the younger ones. It’s always best to go home after an honest day’s work without any stress.

With Royal Mail recruiting for so many new job opportunities there is no better way to find out about the reality of a job than from the people who already work in the field every day.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
I am sure we have all wondered what it might be like to work at one of the UK&rsquo;s leading brands, especially a brand like Royal Mail who have been a household name for such a long time. 
 
Reading about a brand is one thing, sure, you get to know what they stand for and how they operate from a customer outlook, but it is the first-hand honest testimonials from existing staff that go so much further to showing you what it is really like to work as a Delivery Driver, Mail Sorter, or a Class 1 Driver. 
 
In a bid to get the inside scoop we invited some of our candidates who were successfully placed into various Royal Mail roles to talk to us about their experiences, from the application through to career progression, the good bits and the not so good.

Testimonials

<h4>When did you start working at Royal Mail?</h4>
I started working for Royal Mail about 7 months ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h4>What position do you hold at Royal Mail?</h4>
I am a delivery driver, like a courier I suppose you might call it.&nbsp;
<h4>What does your job entail?</h4>
I drop off parcels to houses and businesses, sometimes I collect parcels too.
<h4>Tell me about a typical day at work?</h4>
I arrive at work and collect my van. I am then assigned my route. Next, I arrange the parcels on to the vehicle in the right order for the route. After that, I leave and start the route, meeting people, delivering parcels and making collections. I deliver as many as I can in my shift then I head back to the depot.&nbsp;
<h4>What made you choose this job at Royal Mail?</h4>
I was a chef for 10 years and I hated that I had no social life, the hours were long and unsociable. So, I thought I would change jobs, I love driving and being out on the road so when I saw this I thought, yes! I can do that.&nbsp;
<h4>What was your application process like?</h4>
It was really simple, I just had to answer the questions on the form and once they had done their checks I started.&nbsp;
<h4>What were you most nervous about before you started?&nbsp;</h4>
I was nervous because I didn&rsquo;t really know the area very well, and also, I knew I had to learn to use the handheld device. Now though I know what to do and where to go. I remember what it was like for me, so I try to help other new people as much as possible.
<h4>Did you receive any training before you started?</h4>
Yes, but most of the help came from the other drivers, they made it easier for me to settle in because they were so helpful.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h4>Are you aware of any career progression or self development options?</h4>
Next year they might be taking drivers on permanently, my manager said it is really likely I will get offered this because I am doing well after just 7 months.&nbsp;
<h4>What do you like most about your job?</h4>
I love that I get to drive and offer a great service to customers. If the customer is happy then it makes me happy.&nbsp;
<h4>What do you dislike most about your job?</h4>
Nothing really, you have good days and bad days just like in any job, some days can be long but over all there is nothing I don&rsquo;t like.&nbsp;
<h4>What are your fellow team members like?</h4>
I have a good relationship with the other drivers, and the managers. They know I will always do my best no matter what.&nbsp;
<h4>Do you get to interact with the public a lot?&nbsp;</h4>
Yes, because the parcels are signed for I get to meet new people with every delivery.&nbsp;
<h4>What are your main career goals?</h4>
I am just happy to be a driver, so as long as I can drive I don&rsquo;t mind. 
<h4>What would you tell someone who was considering applying for a role like yours?</h4>
You do have to know that you really like driving, it is totally different to just driving at home and in your own car. You need to be fit for lifting and carrying parcels, and don&rsquo;t forget that you still deliver whatever the weather!&nbsp;
<h4>Would you recommend your job to a friend?</h4>
Yes, I have recommended it already and I would again.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ionut

<h4>When did you start working at Royal Mail?</h4>
I started working for Royal Mail maybe 6 weeks ago…. October this year.
<h4>What position do you hold at Royal Mail?</h4>
I drive a class 1 HGV vehicle.
<h4>What does your job entail?</h4>
I take mail and parcels to different Royal Mail centres ready for sorting.&nbsp;
<h4>Tell me about a typical day at work?</h4>
My shifts vary and the routes change from week to week. I can do anywhere from 8 to 15 hour shifts. If I do a shorter shift, I do still get paid for the 8 hours.&nbsp;
<h4>What made you choose this job at Royal Mail?</h4>
The money is really good - even for a class 1 driver where the money is usually ok, the money here is great.
<h4>What was your application process like?</h4>
It was straight forward, they did a criminal record check and a background check. Then I did a driving assessment and I was ready to start.&nbsp;
<h4>What surprised you most when you started?&nbsp;</h4>
They really concentrate on getting the mail out, even if the loads are not full they will still send you out. Sometimes they cancel your load, but I still get paid as though I did them.&nbsp;
<h4>Did you receive any training before you started?</h4>
Yes, I did get some training about how Royal Mail works and what my job was.&nbsp; &nbsp;
<h4>What do you like most about your job?</h4>
The flexibility of my job is great, and the pay for sure! I do really like working for Royal Mail, they are good to work for.&nbsp;
<h4>What do you dislike most about your job?</h4>
I live about 45 minutes from the depot so driving to work is probably the worst part.
<h4>Tell me about your vehicle?</h4>
They are all different, you get assigned to a different one on every shift, so you don’t always have the same one. Some are brand new, but I prefer the older ones, something that has had time to run in a bit. You don’t worry so much about someone hitting an old one.&nbsp;
<h4>What are your fellow team members like?</h4>
Everybody is fine, in this job you don’t really interact too much but everyone seems ok.&nbsp;
<h4>Do you receive on-the-job support from management?</h4>
Yes, if you have a problem then they will always try to help you out.&nbsp;
<h4>What would you tell someone who was considering applying for a role like yours?</h4>
It can be a very anti-social job with long hours and there is so much traffic on the roads now that it can be quite stressful at times, but the pay does reflect this. The most important part would be to make sure you look after yourself, driving can be an unhealthy job if you don’t make an effort to be fit.&nbsp;
<h4>Would you recommend your job to a friend?</h4>
I suppose I would recommend driving, if you need work then you will always find it as a driver that’s for sure.&nbsp;
