Pros
Well there is the obvious Pros, the hourly wage! And they earn every penny!!! Depending on what post office you are working for, you can actually get a pretty good amount of hours. You basically get paid to exercise as well. The co workers were fantastic and very supportive. You learn so much about EVERYTHING the USPS does and it really is impressive!
Cons
The schedule. It really is tough to balance work and family, but to be fair I was told prior to hiring that it can get pretty insane. So I cant say I did not know. The 6 day work week was pretty tough for me and the possibility of 7 day work week after the training for Sunday Amazon delivery (which I think is awesome for the post office!!! ) I do not mind the physical aspects of the job, for me I just need a little time for my body to recover. The post office I worked at gave me a lot of hours. With other options available to the public the USPS has got to remain competitive as well as profitable. So the CCA's are used to help offset the cost. If I had a fairly set schedule (okay to be fair it was kind of set mon-sat 9:30 to anywhere from 4:30 to 5:30) with 2 days off a week on average (understandably operational needs may dictate extra days) I may have been able to stay.
