US Postal Service reviews

I accepted an offer then had to decline it for wasting my time so no, I never worked for them officially. The process to get employed with them was just bad; multiple errors: postmaster assistant email address and times for orientation. I received a "conditional offer letter", multiple emails (took drug test, fingerprinted, ID badge) Nov 4. I waited and waited and had to call post master of my location to see if I'm in the group for orientation, waited again. Finally, when I got my ID badge I had an informal meet and greet where she said an RCA may be guaranteed 1 day a week and later after a year or 2 (seniority is met)could be permanent full-time. She said didn't you get your official meet and greet with a real person and 'No, I didn't. Finally Dec 7th was orientation and I just didn't have any wind in my sails for this position. When you do 1 day a week, you don't get benefits and you don't necessarily get a choice of days. What a waste of time!

Backstabbers; office politics; dangerous buildings filled with lead paint, asbestos, and mold; longgg hours; poor benefits (health insurance is unaffordable, no sick leave for subs, can't use annual and even if you could, it adds up so slowly that by the time you reach your unpaid mandatory break you'll need it to cover that, uniforms are hand-me-downs from others and filthy, getting new ones from management is like pulling teeth); dangerous conditions since you're not in neighborhoods when the regulars are more dogs will be out than when they deliver, angrier customers because you're not "on time"; management will assign you multiple routes but when you get injured it's your fault for not being safe; vehicles that give out noxious fumes and have no AC in summer and often no heat or defrost in winter, brakes give out frequently and I've even seen first-hand a time when I took out the key and the engine was still on...... I could keep going but I think you get the picture. RUN.
