Pros

the postal service have many good benefits like good salary, good medical benefits, 3 shift to work giving you flexible schedules, the ability to transfer to any part of the US ,We are union to represent us and deal with congress . (but sometimes is better not to have one ). good retired plan we have our own credit union. this last give good deals in the bank sector, for example mortgages , good interest auction and car sales, loans and more .

Cons

dealing with management a nightmare, they don't have any consideration and the sad part some not all don't know what they are doing, for may reason not professional background , lack of experience. lack of time in the postal service so they are not familiar with the operation, normally there are the worst employees and having a disciplinary actions against to them , this minds a secure promotion . the worst person are manager. the good ones don't last. the union is worthless.

Pros

The pay is pretty good for the type of work done, at least to start out. I'm not sure about how it compares 10 years down the road. And you know that you are part of bringing people some happiness through letters, postcards or magazines and keeping communities alive with newspapers, voting materials, and even bills.

Cons

You have to start out as a non-career Postal Support Employee, or PSE, and depending on your installation they can be treated pretty badly. I don't have it too bad where I am but we still have to put up with things like being forced out or made to work late with no notice. Pretty much everybody I know has been called to overtime with less than ten minutes until their scheduled end tour. And there's no way to know how long it will take to make career status.
