Pros
There are hours to work, so lots of overtime. You get to work outside. Lots of walking Have time to listen to audiobooks all day
Cons
No support from management. New employees are not assigned a stable route, they are floating constantly to fill others' days off and, therefore cannot learn routes to be fully efficient. New employees have a 90-day work period for which they are actively taken advantage of during to work the longest hours at the most behind/disorganized stations. No, say when and where you work. No work-life balance. If you do not have your own vehicle, transit to newly assigned stations is a significant hurdle. Higher-ups pressure you to work longer than 10 hours a day without warning, implying that leaving after 8 hours, when there is still mail to deliver, will result in a demerit. Managers give up when they don't know something and say that it's not their job when in fact, it is. Or they don't respond at all. Union reps are not always accessible nor equally educated on how they can support you. This job will destroy your body and the company will do nothing to support you after it happens.
