US Postal Service reviews

The benefits are fantastic!! There are opportunities to work anywhere in the United States. They are tied to a labor contract and employees have union representation and protection. Thirteen days of sick leave annually which carries over year to year. Paid time and half after eight hours a day and double time after ten hours. One of the few companies that still offer a pension. Low cost health insurance for my family. Great vacation time up to five weeks after 15 years.

Great benefits and chances of being downsized are fairly low. Often times, cross training is available when there are vacant positions or if an employee is out on long term leave. One can obtain a "detail" or temporary assignment into the vacant position to "try it on for size." This is a low risk but great way to see if the position fits your skill set or not. Management will sometimes place someone into a detail assignment to see if a potential candidate is suitable for the job or not.
