Pros
Take lunch break when you wanted to... no one watching over you... your own supervisor when it came to dealing with the customers. My two direct coworkers were great to work with. Saturdays were the best days to work sorting mail. Pay was ok.
Cons
Way less pay for the same job as the permanent employees. No benefits, no opportunities for advancement, lack of work hours for PSE and temporary employees.. Worked part time since I was hired as a PSE ( postal Support Employee Clerk) which was a temporary job where they could lay you off or move you to different offices at any time without cause or notice. Did not get all of my needed training for the job. A lot of gossip, backstabbing, and jealousy among other employees (FT) who were mad at you working there because they wanted to work the overtime hours instead. The Manager was just terrible and often berated employees infront of customers and other coworkers and cussed people out at times. She was very unprofessional and was not open to ideas that would help to run the station or different departments better. Some harrassment from older male workers. Some FT employees had psychological problems and needed help and were still allowed to work there while everyone else was scared of them
