US Postal Service reviews

Micromanagement, no work/life balance, understaffed, low starting wages, inconsistent practices, overworked, treated like a robot or number not a human being, inconsistent disciplinary actions, inconsistent working policies, promotes “safety” and doesn’t provide “safe” vehicles (LLV) extensively difficult/time consuming vetting and/or training process, bi-weekly pay system that has had multiple failures in last yr, no flexibility with schedule aside from being forced to work more, unreasonable and unrealistic work loads, inconsistent end times, not a job for someone who’s not a workaholic or has small children/family/wants to go to school/wants to work part-time or casual, although many starting positions are advertised as being PT or casual.

If you're in college or have other concrete obligations that need to be accommodated for, than this job is not for you. Management only cares about one thing, that's the mail. They don't care about the time that you were supposed to go on break or how you feel. Management will not hesitate to abuse you and violate some of your rights, so speak to the appropriate union that you are in, You will be mandated overtime during busy times; you will be sent home early during low-volume times. You will be sent all over the place and the hours that you come in and your days off will change at the will of the supervisor or anyone that is in management. Pretty much, your life is the USPS. You will do as they say, when they say it. They will expect your life to revolve around the facility. This is a harsh, robotic environment. If you're looking for a place that makes you feel like you're making a difference, values their employees, and is overall just a great work environment, this isn't it.
