Pros

The pay is good compared to other companies in the area. Scheduling was flexible when not in high season, and so was getting time off

Cons

Barely any jobs available and layoffs. Hard to advance these days and they give transitional employees false hopes of becoming careers. Favoritism of careers over TEs

Pay is good, but working conditions are brutal

Pros

Good money, opportunity for overtime, stable work in this economic downturn. Benefits are pretty good, decent vacation time, when you are allowed to use it.

Cons

Working here is more like being a prisoner, than an employee. You are constantly harassed and nitpicked about everything. People (mothers, fathers, grandparents, sons, daughters) are written up for the littlest things.

Pros

As Quasi- Government Employees have some degree of security from lay-off. Pay is just below prevailing wages with better than average benefits. Work load is not excessive and working hours are good. Veterans are still preferred employees.

Cons

USPS seeks to follow other government agencies and move to out sourcing many jobs. Hiring is nearly frozen as this happens. Cost of out sourcing is threatening the future of the Postal Service. Most good jobs won't be around in ten years, contractors want the easy money.
