US Postal Service reviews

You’re under a microscope from the get go. You’re supposed to as quick and efficient as all other carriers immediately, regardless of route or other factors. Ineffective equipment: don't get stuck with a tough route (i.e. brand new neighborhoods, route layout) that renders your navigation ineffective, the turn-by-turn directions are not specific enough and sometimes outright wrong. If stuck on a tough route that looks bad on your numbers you could get fired despite recent improvement, it doesn’t matter. My release was “based solely on averages” was what I was told when I was let go. Never mind showing up early every shift, not calling off once, no safety issues, no mis-deliveries, taking time off clock to gather maps and research the neighborhoods involved. Some supervisors don't consider any other things besides one's stats. You’re just a name on a spreadsheet. Relied heavily on my phone for navigation. Pay hours have some fluctuation.

#1 Management. Trust me. You do meet some decent ones, but most are the same. Rude, passive aggressive, un-motivating, and lack passion. Most of these people are not leaders. Work hours was insane, they expected you to be some kind of robot with no life. 10-12 hour days 6-7 days a week. Depending on management's mood with you. LOTS OF NEPOTISM.
