Pros

This seasonal temp job through the holidays pays very well. I liked the fact that you are allowed to work in comfortable clothing, blue jeans and tee shirts, so no dressing up is required. There is quite a bit of overtime during the month of December.

Cons

This job is physically and mentally hard. Not smart hard but the ability to do the same thing for 9-12 hours at a time can wear you down. You are on your feet all of that time except for short breaks. It is hard on your back and shoulders to toss mail for this long and can be mind numbing.
