Business Outlook

Pros

USPS offer good hourly pay, due to the union.

Cons

Union for Rural Carriers is in management's back pocket. Management treats you like you are less then human. Teamwork does not exist. Everyone is out for themselves.(Management, co-workers, etc.) You only receive hourly pay until you make full time regular, last person that made regular took 10 years.
