US Postal Service Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for the postal service for 18 years and they treat you like your personal life doesn't matter."

"This is a horrible job, avoid it at all costs, don't believe the hype that it is a great place to work. The training doesn't cover the actual work procedures and conditions that you are exposed to. Management is horrible on all levels. You are told in training that learning the job is a long process, but when you get to your office, you are literally harassed by management if you don't learn the route and the job in less than four days. You are accused of mistakes you didn't make, as well as the fact that you are given step by step instructions of how to go through a procedure and then the next day, they change it without warning and tell you that you did it wrong. If you are not well liked, they will do just about anything to throw you under the bus to get you to leave or fire you. Also, you are expected to get done a large route in a short period of time. For example, my route was 600 units and they wanted it done in about 4 to 4.5 hours, including packages, if you didn't, then you were told you had to speed up. About three times a day, I was told I was too slow, doing the casing and the route. Finally, they will hardly give you any hours, you may only work about 3 to 4 days a month and they will expect you to keep your availability open and might terminate your employment if you attempt to get a second job."
