Pros
Paycheck decent, but you pay for it psychologically. Blatant disrespect, harrassment is the order of the day. Your reward for doing a good job is more hard work being given to you. They will use you up if you let them. The lettercarriers, especially, are the scum of the outfit...no respect.They only promote bums who couldn't do their job anywhere else.
Cons
People think it's an easy job, but it's not, and management forces you to perform unergonomic practices while delivering that are neither logical or productive. Try juggling three bundles of mail in your left hand and arm, and picking from the bundles like picking from a Chinese menu...one from column A, one from column B, etc.No wonder mail is misdelivered! No one knows the best way to deliver mail but the individual carrier, but all carriers are forced into a mold like they are robotic. Even left-handed carriers are forced to deliver with their opposite hands.
