Business Outlook
Pros
The job can be excellent on your CV - it requires a great deal of trust considering the levels of cash and personal information that you handle every day. It's also excellent experience for a job in the public sector - as a true street level bureaucrat you get an eye opening insight into the daily problems of some of the poorest people in society
Cons
Most Post Offices are franchises, and therefore pay and working conditions are highly variable. Some offices place very strict rules on your interactions with customers, requiring you to try and push possibly inappropriate products onto customers which quickly becomes tiring for customers and staff alike.
