Pros

*pay I guess *government but not government funded

Cons

*cheap, everything about the post service is cheap. they want to pay you per finished route not per hour. so you could complete and 6 hour route in 8 hours and still only paid the 6 hours. * the LLV is unsafe, the oldest vehicle in the postal fleet. no air bags, no AC, heat stroke warnings are stuck to the ceiling of the car. parts often go out on them including the parking hand brakes, meaning you could shift into park and the parking break doesnt work so it rolls over you or another thing. *management sucks and if accidents happen they will do everything in their power to blame and make the driver responsible for the deficiencies of the cheap equipment they have not upgraded since the 80s.

Pros

Tons of overtime Fast paced never bored Working alone for the majority of the day

Cons

Politics at the post office between management, fellow employees, and unions is brutal. No real management structure. Everyone is out to get everyone else. IF YOU ARE NOT A MAN IN YOUR TWENTYS WITH NO KIDS DO NOT WORK HERE. Worked weekends including sundays and all holidays with no benefits for 2 years. Worked 14hr days for 26 days before I was given a day off. Had multiple paychecks late or missing money and no one in management could explain (never got paid back for those). I have heard management is a lot better now, but not worth not being around family or holidays. And last thing is the trucks don't have good heat or any air conditioning, and there is no snow days for USPS. -45 degrees youre still working (even when an employee was pregnant) with no hazard pay.
