Pros

Income, overtime, (got the job so I would never have to work another Sunday)

Cons

CCAs at my location are required to work 7 days a week now with the new contract with Amazon. No promise of career, benefits or a day off. Working for a chain of incompetent superiors and Union Reps. Veteran's Preference means nothing until you become full time which could be never. Being 30 and a disabled war vet, I don't have much time to start a career and hope to retire before I'm in a wheel chair.

Pros

The pay is great for what we do. Some of my coworkers are awesome. Working hard for the public good.

Cons

There is no employee suggestion program. Very few people in the administration are needed. Most spew contempt for those who actually handle mail. Most of management come from the ranks of sick, lame and lazy employees. Great benefits and five weeks of vacation every year plus more sick leave than most responsible healthy people can use.

Pros

Pay is good at the upper end of "craft" (the ones who do the real work) positions in relation to education requirement (H.S. diploma).

Cons

1930's style (top down) management approach. Military/quasi police style approach to employees. No offense to either organization (we don't deal in life or death situations like THEY do), we deliver letters and packages.
