Pros
I loved being a Data Conversion Operator. Easy job. Not too physically demanding.
Cons
I had perfect attendance for 3 years, surpassed my target goals, volunteered extra overtime during the pandemic and holidays, finally achieved career statis and was immediately transferred to a processing facility. When I arrived my first day, they said I was absent the prior two days. Apparently, the schedule I agreed to work was not the schedule I really had. I went into overtime my first day, a 12-hour shift. The next day I was disciplined for working 12 hours. They said that only career employees can work 12 hours and that PSEs (starting employees) are limited to 10 hours overtime. I told them I had been awarded career statis. They said I was wrong, that I was a starting employee. I asked if I had health benefits which, as a type 1 diabetic, I understood I had. I was told I did not have health benefits. Well, a type 1 diabetic without health insurance can't survive on the wage I was being paid. So, I quit. Two months later, they are sending me bills to pay for the health insurance they said I didn't have. I was really invested in continuing a long career with USPS, hence achieving my target goals and committing to perfect attendance for 3 years. This was a waste of effort. One of the biggest mistakes of my life.
