Pros

Great benefits!! 36 days off per year or 7 wks and 1 day. The companies 401K plan is the best! I also get 13 sick days a year that will roll over the following year. My heath insurance is the federal plan which is a lot cheaper and more coverage that the normal plans outside the company. I get raises every year based on my performance. Last year it was 14%. Also, the job has the ultimate security even in bad economies.

Cons

Poor communication. Often the public finds out info before the employees do. Working for the public can be very difficult. Weekly telecons and constant confortations with employees over performance is not for everyone.

Pros

The postal service has good benefits and it is a steady paycheck. The job is not to difficult but very robotic.

Cons

Everything in unionized so there is a big disconnect between management and employees. There are not a ton of growth opportunities.
