Pros

Pay is good, holidays and Sundays off, people were very nice and working independently.

Cons

Scheduling can be bad, sometime you work 10 hour days, get called in on your day off, opportunity for advancements are very slim, feeling overwhelmed at times, very strenuous on your body and NO BENEFITS!! Also the Postal Service is in a huge 5 Billion dollar hole, lots of uncertainty going on..Pay freeze and a chance that hours will be cut soon.
