I just left USPS and all I can say is RUN.
Pros
Nothing good to say, The PSE's are great people, and the work itself is easy. USPS is dying slowly due to the internet shopping, email, and companies like UPS and FedEx!
Cons
They start with the PSE position, tell you that it is only until you convert to become what they consider a "career." They tell you it will only be 1 to 1.5 years to do so, not true. I've been there for 7 months, have only seen 1 person crossover, they were already hitting their 2yr mark. They also tell you that you will be working at most 6 day on, 1 day off (not true.) My first stretch was 14 days, 1 day off.The union mentality is a hinderance. Because there is no benefit to working harder then everyone else to achieve advancement because everyone gets paid equal. Also if you stand out they pull you in, act like they are giving you a "promotion", it's not. They will move you into a job that no one wants to do, act like you owe them something when you are getting paid the same to do a job that pays the career employees double. They constantly don't give you breaks, have you miss lunches.
