US Postal Service reviews

You will spend many late hours doing more routes on top of yours if people don't show up to work that day.

The Postal Service is a numbers driven organization. Everything is driven by productivity numbers. While productivity is good for the survival of any organization there should be a clear plan in place to reach reasonable goals. Therein lies the problem. Goals are set and middle level managers are expected to obtain these goals and are basically turned loose to achieve them at any cost. Even at the cost of the welfare of employees. When higher level managers are unable to produce numbers that are acceptable the most common practice they are encouraged to find sacrificial lambs somewhere below them. This is why over 90% of blue color workers in the Postal Service volunteer to be members of labor unions. I only recommend this employer to one who is willing, and able, to handle situations where you will be asked to handle workloads that are unreasonable and sometimes impossible.
