What is the salary like at US Postal Service?

Good pay, good benefits, job security and advancement opportunities, I met a lot of great people from all over the world. Job is pretty simple and straightforward, and to me, also very interesting/cool.

Seems to be a trend of micromanaging and bad attitudes. I tend to do good in any environment despite the stress level but I’ve seen many break and fold, even quit because it was just too much. Of course it depends on the location as well and how good you are at managing stress / communication but it does seem to be a common theme here.

Good pay, good hours most of the time, great benefits

Not for everyone, busy peak seasons,

Good pay and a lot of overtime

Terrible management and outdated systems

Good pay, good benefits and easy work.

The people. Too much drama and messy people especially the supervisors and upper management. Worked at the Kansas City pdc. Management wants to fire the people that actually work instead of the lazy people that walk around building gossiping the whole shift. Overall just stick to yourself.

Great benefits, great pay and the hours are good.

Management doesn’t always hold people accountable

Good pay and pension plan Thrift Savings Plan

Not enough employees to do the work required.

Great pay, good hours and great benefits

Unsafe work environment, don't care about their employees

Flexible work conditions, great pay and benefits, 40 hours guaranteed.

Incompetent management and structure from upper management.

Great benefits, competitive pay, good work life balance , good exsercise

Could be overburden and management sucks

Benefits are good; good health insurance, a yearly allotment of paid time off that gets bigger with seniority after becoming a regular (starting at 2 weeks and maxing out at 5, I believe). A strong union looking out for you. The times when your office is well staffed, the mail volume is light, and the weather is nice, it’s actually a pretty sweet job.

A ton of forced overtime if the office you work at needs the help. This is almost guaranteed when you’re brand new as a CCA but it’ll happen no matter how much seniority you have if your office is short staffed enough. Personally, I’m okay with this to an extent. The overtime pay is good and it’s also a good thing that we’re able to get it and sign up for it voluntarily if we choose when it’s not forced, but when you hit those stretches where you’ve been working 65-70 hours/6 days a week for 9 months straight (had one month I was doing 100 hour weeks) and after you’ve been a regular for years and there’s no end in sight, you start to wonder if it’s really worth it to just end up tired all the time with no social life. But if you have kids to support and no higher education, the post office is a great place to earn the money you need.
