US Postal Service reviews

The place is micromanaged. You have individuals that have no Experience in the field that they are managing. Management sets unreasonable numbers to meet. They use threats and intimidation every single day you step into the work place. I have worked 13 years for the company and it gets worst every year. I have to say I have never enjoyed my employment at the postal service do to the horrible treatment by the management. The biggest saying in the postal service is that " management has the right to mismanage."

It's a union position, so pay is non-negotiable and is not performance based. As a result, you have people that truly perform sub-par and are an ankle weight on the project - with little to no actions that you can take to correct the situation. Also, although the starting wage is quite respectable for a new grad out of college, it is largely agreed upon that the longer you stay with the US Postal Service, the less competitive their wages are for Developers. (Absolute Max you can make as a developer is currently $87,960 - no small peanuts, but imagine that this is after having approx 20 years experience. You could be making well over 6 figures elsewhere)
