Pros

Good Pay. Especially overtime pay.

Cons

Toxic work environment. They work you like dogs. I did 12-15 hour shifts regularly for WEEKS on end without a day off. Because they love to call you in on your day off most times. Sexual harassment isn’t take seriously by supervisors. Nasty behavior by supervisors. You can spend a whole day working (12 hours) and come back just for them to send you back out to help someone else for hours so take more packages out. And if you refuse they hand you a resignation paper to fill out. Whenever I tried to stand up for myself with the toxic environment and harassment, I’d get told that they can replace me at anytime. I was so scared off getting fired, that I fell out of a mail truck in someone driveway and out of fear I decided to tell them it was from falling off a porch. I lost feeling in the bottom half of my body for a few minutes, when I regained feeling, it turns out I had one sprained foot and the other a sprained ankle. I also twisted my back and have had health issues from it for years now. I crawled back to the mail truck, dropped it off and went home and then to the doctor the next morning. I went back to work a few days later with supports on, and (using my own car to deliver) I continued my job working in pain delivering mail out of my car (driving in the middle, no seatbelt). My ankles never healed properly. I knew they would have fired me and the Post master would have tried to make an example out of me during the safety meeting if I was honest. So yeah, this company is horrible. I left when my back problems from the fall (I’m sure) I couldn’t take anymore.

Pros

There's virtually no layoffs and consistent work. Outdoor work which is great when the weather is good. One on one with every type of person out in the town.

Cons

The management has no heart for personal life. 2 days off a month which does not include weekends. Lifting and loading non stop through the day despite weather and condition. No time for life occurrences or family. Possible 14 hour days during winter when the conditions may be dangerous.
