Pros

The pay is great. benefits are great too!. what i love about the postal service is the respect you get for working for the governmnet and also, it allows one to request transfer for job to another place of preference.

Cons

I THINK in order for them to cut costs, they need to reduce on the number of supervisors they have at every processing plant. this is an organization whre you find 3-4 supervisors at just one branch. not good!

Pros

The pay is the best reason to work at the USPS. No skills or knowledge necessary No responsibilities other than to show up (and that's optional).

Cons

Workers are treated terribly. Management is made up of people who have little to poor management skills and are taught by managers who have little to poor management skills. The work schedules are horrible. The work is physically demanding. There is no reward for being an exceptional worker and no consequence for being a poor worker. There is no logic to the methods of management. Innovation is not welcomed. It is run the way things were run decades ago and suggestions for change are not taken. It WILL change a person with good work ethics to a mediocre performer or a person who does not care.

Pros

Good pay, continuous pay level advancement. Good benefits, good people to work with. A service to the community, fast paced work environment.

Cons

Some managers are great, but some are duds. Production standards are ridiculous sometimes and penalties for not performing are unfair. Management is the biggest stumbling block to a happy, productive workforce.
