Pros

Good pay, not excellent for the type of work. Is more a factory job, but in a factory you get at least breaks every 2 hours, and you can go to the bathroom, here they are always o short handed and its so fast pace, they want everything done ASAP so you ant even do that. If I had the chance to go back would not o it, when I made the decision of quitting the manager position with benefits that I had to come in for this thinking that I will make career here just showing that I was a good, hard worker and prepared, with education, experience and skills to go up like in every other company, because they told me the important thing was to have a Foot in for future positions but that's not even true, I'm a USPS employee but I'm more outside that inside. This was supposed to e pros but for this position there's none. Just don't accept it. Everybody thinks because us. Federal job will be so different but it's not, USPS is just full of cry babies, lazy employees that the Union support and spoil, and at some point s going to make the company disappear or get private.

Cons

No good benefits, long hours, they abuse you, you re normally the only one working overtime hours because they can't use the full time outside of their schedule, and guess what outside their hours s when the work really happens, it makes me so mad seeing supervisor, pic and other regulars us lacking standing up for 2 hours and nothing else while you are killing yourself. Poor teamwork, they only care about what they are supposed to do, of course because everybody is afraid he re going to complain and open a grievance because they are cutting their overtime hours that are really yours. I not dare getting overtime, I just want normal hours, normal life, time off too, getting done and out. Employees don't seem to think that the important part of this job is to get the mail out for delivery, the sooner the best, that will cut overtime hours for carriers too. Also I feel exhausted all he time, because beside no having a day off like regulars and working overtime every week, a lot of days I'm by myself in the pm doing 2-3 people jobs that they cant make regulars do because they will get in trouble, I start at 5am and they are not supposed to work me max until 5pm, but I'm the first in and sat out, never earlier than 5:40pm.

Pros

Pays pretty good for a few years. Mostly stable work. Once a career employee, 40 hours are constant.

Cons

Negative environment. Incompetent management. Very limited growth potential. Work is not rewarding. There is no incentive to work hard. Only incentive to stay out of trouble. Management does not encourage ideas or change.

Pros

Pay is good, holidays and Sundays off, people were very nice and working independently.

Cons

Scheduling can be bad, sometime you work 10 hour days, get called in on your day off, opportunity for advancements are very slim, feeling overwhelmed at times, very strenuous on your body and NO BENEFITS!! Also the Postal Service is in a huge 5 Billion dollar hole, lots of uncertainty going on..Pay freeze and a chance that hours will be cut soon.
