Pros

Sharpened my memorization skills, improved my momentum, and fast-paced motor skills. I learned to stay focused under intense pressure, remain organized at all times while sorting through mixed mail and multiple packages. I developed a strong routine that got me out the door in a timely manner for mail delivery. I learned how to multi task and help as a team member whenever needed. During delivery I made people very happy by going the extra distance for the best customer service. I had a wonderful repour with everyone, I came into contact with on my journey. It was a physically and mentally challenging job that was incredibly rewarding.

Cons

I had to purchase my own USPS business vehicle, and the constant cost of the maintenance was beyond my salary.
