RUN away as fast as you can, unless you like being loaded like a lop-sided pack mule. WORST job I have ever had!
Pros
Trainers were good, but I learned mostly from on the job training. NOTHING...I mean NOTHING can prepare you for a walking route, unless you are accustomed to being loaded like a pack mule. Most employees sincere and hard-working, although you really don't have a clue what the job is until you actually start real work.
Cons
You think its a great job with the possibility of full-time with benefits. Good luck! If your back isn't broken, you must be used to some ancient form of turture. I can only say this was the most physically, and emotionally exhausting job I ever did. The pay was great! Don't be fooled. No amount of money is worth it! I invested over $150 in all-weather hiking boots, just so I could walk. One day in snow boots and I had to buy something else. I have BLISTERS on top of BLISTERS on my feet. My thumb is cracked and bleeding. I walk like a 100 year old person. I am popping pain pills just so I can move. Don't let the pay fool you. McDonald's would be better and I'm serious. You want a break? Good luck with that. NEVER will I ever recommend USPS. I'm saddened and ashamed. I thought you all were better than this. I now know that your employees don't mean squat. Good riddance!
