US Postal Service Reviews

Good Career and a bunch of nice people

You are like a temp as a rca waiting 4-5 years for a regular route

Pros

Retirement pkg, vacation time, salary.

Cons

Lack of trust between management and labor. No respect. Management threats of termination for minor occurrences.

Advice to Senior Management

Get an education in business management. Very few have any education beyond high school. Labor has more college grads!

Pros

If you make full time, its a great job, however they tend to keep people in the "temporary" field and just renew you every year, which is cheaper for them and very demoralizing.

There is hardly ever a day where everybody in the p.o. knows what is happening that day and management is always giving mixed information.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire a knowledgeable relief carrier to be a supervisor. They seem to know the most about all aspects of the day to day operations than most supervisors do.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow more weekends off.

Wages, facilities, hours, break rooms

Cons

Remedial work environment, management, bureaucracy.

Advice to Senior Management

Run it like a business rather than a government agency. The efficiency is terrible and really makes the job worse than it really is. Way too much waste is tolerated and management came off as either incompetent or lazy. The USPS has not changed with the times and is the reason that they continue to bleed money. The Encoding Center is a good source for jobs in the area and it would be sad to see all of the people involved losing their jobs due to bad work practices from the top down.

Pros

Met a lot of good hardworking people.

Cons

Job is really physically challenging

Advice to Senior Management

There is a great opportunity for management to improve its relationship with its employees. They need to really try hard and reach out to its workers - and it has to be genuine.

Pros

It pays well, and they seem to hire often enough. If you can make it past the 90-day trial period, you'll be set for awhile.

Cons

Multiple facilities shutting down, so there's layoffs EVERYWHERE. A very dangerous environment for someone actually aiming to start a career there. Lots of burnout unionized employees that do nothing but sleep on the job. Management can't even touch them for fear of the union's wrath.

Advice to Senior Management

You should probably try fighting the unions, instead of handing out layoffs to your hard-working temporary, casual, or trial employees.
