Current Employee – been working at US Postal Service full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Current senior management is very smart and very competent. Yes, we're in a bad place financially right now, but there are viable, long-term solutions on the table. Congress is clearly the road block at this point.

Cons – Not many cons to working here. Public perception is very out of whack with reality though, and it is sometimes tough to stay positive while "they" throw uniformed opinions and inaccurate facts around about our company.

Advice to Senior Management – Stay the course and don't give up. You're on the right track.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at US Postal Service full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Used to be a decent job for middle class-now just bringing in temp workers w/ no benefits. This will not work in this type of job.

Cons – Way too much overpaid management. I watched my supervisor and postmaster spend 75% of their day on personal phonecalls. Yet the office was shorted severely of clerks. Terrible management from top to bottom has put the PO in it's current mess. Promote qualified people, not just relatives and whatever joe blow wants the job. Employees should have to prove themselves before getting promoted.

Advice to Senior Management – Fire yourselves now and start all over.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at US Postal Service as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros – Spend most of the day outdoors.

Cons – Pay decrease for temps who already had almost no benefits. Super micro managed . The only thing they care about is how fast you can get the route done.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat your employees like people and not slaves.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at US Postal Service full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Good pay, sick leave, anual leave, holidays. Mostly a clean safe environment. I was able to transfer several times between states. Many employment opportunities, once you are in the door.

Cons – The more you do the more that is expected. Still has the who you know mentality, when trying to advance. Heavily into promotion of females and minorities. Unions have too much power. Too many unions and managemnet associations, that get in the way of the business'or what is left of it. Not a very good careeer choice at the present.

Advice to Senior Management – Better start working on human relations aspects. Being humiliated and beat up on telecoms is the norm. We are trying to keep up with less and less help each day. Dois and Csaw do not reflect the true nature of the workload and manpower. Stop having plants bury delivery on Mondays and the day after holidays. Even out the work flow.
