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.
