US Postal Service reviews

Upper management sometimes do not remember to communciate nicely with lower staff and forget to realize it is the lower staff which drives their performance.

I literally became everything for every role. I was a trained as a clerk, but I managed to sort packages, letters, ran the front desk (which included bulk mailing, passport sales, retail sales), ran operations, filled in as temporary supervisor (which seems, to me, above the rank of a contracted employee), worked 7 days at a time for long periods of time, delievered mail on route, became custodian when the custodian retired, performed lawn care, and even drove 2 hours away to Columbus at times to do additional training for newer recruits that came in. Aside from this, the only way to advance your career here is to either wait for somebody to retire, or die. That sounds morbid and extreme, but I was offered multiple opportunities for advancement, and every single one was swept away by either somebody with a higher tenure, or somebody choosing not to retire after all and wanted to stay an additional year or two.
