Job Training

Teaches you how to do your job properly.

they give you the basics, they dont explain what its like to actually work in the USPS, totally different that the training, it could be better

The only real training I received was a week at the "rural academy". Wasn't great but it helped with some things that you must know.

New hires are given a vague academy style course to familiarize them with general Postal Service functions. Hands on training generally is not provided in a useful style that will benefit the fresh employee. Three days of OJT are provided, but do not provide adequate training time or subject matter.

One to two days of ride along average training. After that, you are on your own, and expected to perform as well as a regular. Luckily, it was pretty easy to pick up. Some people can take weeks to learn it though.

They don't allow one to perform their duties without proper training and satisfactory documentation to support haven completed it.

2 weeks of boring training, but I think it was helpful

Other workers would have to leave their set stations of we needed some help. None of the supervisors were anywhere to be found.

They give you plenty of training to ensure that you know what you are doing.
