Pros
Outside, when it’s a beautiful day, working by yourself, work at your own pace. OT
Cons
Work lots of hours, too late at night for a woman, 9:30pm. Driving these days, too many crazy drivers. Too many people own unleashed dogs, almost attacked two times by pits. Almost, in an accident on the highway coming from merging, because someone wouldn’t get over. Finished my route, and then had to go back out and deliver packages, which I had to use google maps for 30 different packages. Unfamiliar with the area. My route that I was on was in the worst part of KC. Homeless, prostitution, beggars and at least 3 wrecks a day in that area. Absolutely, do not file for your insurance until you know you are going to stay. I had my insurance for1 week and then quit, it was taken out of my check and HR response was “OH well” you still had insurance. Yes, I had insurance but I didn’t receive my cards till after I quit!! So out of $300.00 for that pay period!! Plus, my retire benefits will take 3 months to Refund. I highly recommend NOT working for the Post Office!!
