Pros

The benefits are not matched by any other employer I know. The team and the people I worked with for the most part were great.

Cons

Behind the times They don't treat their employees well The staff is waiting for retirement to come The procedures are behind the time

Pros

The pay was pretty decent. I was able to lose a lot of weight by doing walking routes all summer, so that was pretty cool.

Cons

Management is a joke. They are the precise picture of everything you never want to work for. Management through intimidation is a big thing. Constantly adding more work to the people who work harder and taking more work from those who don't work as hard, which leads to employee frustration, as it is absolutely impossible to schedule anything after work Monday-Saturday. Constantly pushing the harder workers to go harder, go faster, while simultaneously letting the grumpy, lazy workers have a free ride. Managers who have never actually performed the job for which they are assigned to manage. Added to this, the constant fear of not having a job, as the USPS is not in very good shape financially. The incredible bureaucracy of the United States Postal Service makes everything at least twice as hard as it needs to be. But then, I guess that's the government.
