US Postal Service reviews

no benefits, unless you became a career employee as others quit or retired. The hardest part of the job was not knowing how long each day would be, you worked until it was all delivered, and having to work every Saturday. You are classified as part time, but work six days a week. Our management was constantly changing.

The cons are seemingly endless: no benefits, takes 5+ years to make career, on-call every day, no set schedule, no set route, terrible managers who harass and micro-manage the carriers, laborious work, unions, have to use own vehicle sometimes, bad weather and roads in some areas, hostile patrons, hostile dogs, most mail is 'junk' anyway. Easily the most stressful job of my life. Christmas time finally did me in. A 65 hour week that had me near fainting from exhaustion and the manager found it amusing? DONE! The mental and physical toll was too much. And this is coming from a friendly hard working individual. The USPS is fated like the Titanic anyway. Proceed at your own career risk.
