      Pros

      Pretty good pay, good people helping you learn

      Cons

      Tough job, back breaking dirty work, no time off ever - you belong to the post office and there’s no work life balance and a long road to a career position. Broken down trucks, work stations sorely lacking in basic supplies. Pitiful.

        Lots of hours makes great money

        Cons

        No work/life balance until you make regular and even then it’s still a lot.

      Underwriter

      I've completed an initial phone screening interview, followed by a 2-hour interview with the Department VP. Next in the process are three separate 90-minute peer interviews. Is there a possibility of another interview after the peer interviews, or should I anticipate receiving an offer?
