Business Outlook

Pros

money to pay bills and thats all

Cons

long hours does not matter how much mail is processed, more is always required PSE's are treated like second class citizens Supervisors and management lack the skills of communication, as well as common courtesy to their employees. For a place that promotes " NO ROBOT", they sure like to treat their employees as such !

Great job, not so great company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, benefits, pension requires only a high school diploma and a valid drivers license. Feels good providing an essential service. Lots of activity and interaction with the public.

Cons

Mind-boggling divide between management and employees. Two-tier employee classification under current contract; lower tier gets much less pay and far fewer benefits. Hours and work conditions (outside, in all weather) can be brutal.
