United States Postal Service

Worked for the USPS for 26 years. I retired in 12 of 2019. Went to dozens of schools in Norman, OK and passed each and every one.

The regular postal carriers would call out and the subs would have to cover the down route plus their own. The post office does not train properly on routes. Your schedule would change constantly without warning. You would sometimes go weeks without a day off (you HAD to work sundays). You were forced to go to a completely different post office and expected to do their route by yourself even if you have never been to that are before.

Hired 1991 worked multiple crafts, began 1998 post office Supervison training program. Completed ASP program awarded promotion to Supervisor Cuatomer Service level 16. Continued working in Postmaster/ Manager OIC (office -in-charge) program 6 years. Awarded Postmaster Level 18 moved on to Postmaster Level 21 many OIC assignments to reach Manager level 22

There was no job interview. Did not know that the job was only part-time until hired. I had to fight to get paid and prove I went through the training, even thought I would not be in the local Post Office if I did not train, because that is when you get our badge. You don't get time counted to your years of service for retirement until you actually get a route. During training, the trainer stated all the "games" Post Master at the office would pull and my Post Master lived up to it all. Unless you are young and willing to give up some freedom, don't apply. The vehicles are seriously dangerous, as well.

When you first get in they work you to the bone. If you make it to a regular your schedule is set. Don’t even think about working daytime hours

Unprofessional environment. The way the place was supervised was unorganized also the managers spoke to people in a very unprofessional manner. Using foul language when they got frustrated with employees. Firing people because of personal feelings.

This was one of my life dream jobs that was cut short due to continued harassment from management and staff. Seven women started with me, and all seven ended up leaving.

Due to not having my spouse working in the pass 10 years medical bill and living expenses I have to choose on what I can pay

Assigned tasks very straight forward, training appropriate. The hours were prohibitive, 4:30 AM or 5 AM beginning tour. Down time was difficult, would have preferred to be assigned enough tasks to fill each shift.

It's a stressful job. Promotion given to friends. Recognition given for good employees. Long hours but salary makes up for that but a good career-oriented.

Willing to work now if possible I’m ready to learn new things meet new people and enjoy being apart of a new team

I used to work at United States Postal Services back in Guam as an assistant clerk. I was so nervous at first but after I got used to the flow of how things were running in there, I actually felt lighter of my worries and actually enjoyed doing what I did. It is a fast paced environment but I wouldn't change it. I learned a lot of new things and made good friends along the way.

I love the challenge working for the Postal Services. I had to leave my mother had internal Illness with a trachea and stage 4 retino cancer. So I had to resign to care for her. She passed away this year on September 4, 2021.

Good paying job with long-term security Great health benefits for yourself and family Opportunity for saving money for retirement Opportunity for promotion and open opportunities to move around in the company to different jobs in the company

Work long hours every day with little to no support. No accountability for the regular carriers, they call off constantly and leave you to pick up their slack.

We have so many new employees who can't put th there phones down. They don't want to do the job but want the pay. They don't come to work half the time. You can't tell some of them anything with out getting told off.

This was my first experience with a federal job situation. I was a young single mother @ the time and appreciated the opportunity. I was totally clueless of the mail delivery process. I enjoyed the various positions I held during my time employed there.

Working for the United States Postal service wasn't what I expected. It was a great experience I learned a lot especially with how actually packages could get slowed down or lost or how they divide them up into the different zip codes and stuff. Salary wise it was great you get overtime if you want the only con that I had was management and how physically tired I was from standing on my feet for so long and having to lift up so many heavy packages.

Management is racist. If you are Black then you will be given preferential treatment here.Management is incompetent and lazy

A good group that can work together help one another out without constant needing of micromanaging doesn't happen at the post office

Working with other people was ok, it was the supervisors that weren't nice. They didn't give a hoot about you. They didn't tell you you were doing a good job or anything.

It’s a ok place to work. Great salary stay to yourself work hard and go home Its ok to work here stay to self

The entire time I worked at the Smithfield post office you come in at seven you never know what time you leave everybody else leaves you’re left out there all by yourself no support no help and they don’t ask you to work seven days a week they tell you you will work seven days a week if they don’t have adequate help!!! The supervisors do not care that you have to get your child from daycare or that you have responsibilities after work it’s all about their needs totally disregard you as a person

Begin my USPS career as a letter carrier in Hawaii and finished as a Postmaster in 2007. Had great peers and mentors that prepared me for my career in management in the USPS.

Outstanding benefit and can make as much money as you want. You you always have a job and can accumulate vacation time

I will only say I worked for the USPS for 14 years and have no regrets doing so. I worked a lot of hours and made a lot of money doing so; with the extra money I was able to splurge on my vacations. I also was able to add an additional bathroom onto my house. Working for the USPS is hard work but very rewarding.

No recognition in a positive way. You will get mandated overtime and work 6 days a week. Holidays will be forced to work.

Supervisors do not care about you and will work you until you drop, then will blame you for overworking yourself.

Working for the Postal Service is rewarding. Unlike many jobs, everything you do actually means something. The people there take mail delivery very seriously, and while the job is serious and at times hectic, the atmosphere is friendly, laid back and supportive. After spending decades in the rat race, navigating petty office politics and spinning the corporate hamster wheel for nothing more significant than a decent raise next review cycle, the Postal Service is a job where getting it right has a direct impact on people, and contributes to the community good.

was fired during the coronavirus even though i had a doctors note to be out to care for my ederly mother

Awful place. They twist and turn everything to suite them. Backing no employees with any support in times of need. I was injured delivering for them. And no one called about paper work and my boss nor the post master of another office knew . what paper work they said. And aww its federal and no lawyer will help. They are just terriable people

For more than 23 years of experience in a variate of companies, and position. Starting in a catering company without any experience, walk thru inventory clerk for the kitchen, coordinator of various airlines equipment, driver in charge of providing meals to airlines, promoted to supervision position, in the operations and transportation. From this kind of Industry I applied for a supervisor position from outside the USPS, Passing the obligatory training for 4 months, and working inside the USPS in several departments.

Management bullies people and barely know their job description. The Clerk union does absolutely nothing to represent you or stop managements bullying

Loved working there my car got totalled by some driver and could never recoup from lost car so had to quit

Okay place to work. Fast paced environment. Not enough workers. Only way to get permanent work was through friend or relative.

I was hired as a seasonal temp with the promise of becoming a full hire. I worked my butt off and at times being the only clerk in a complete warehouse. Only to come to find out my racist supervisor lost my contract because there was no one to cover all the shifts. I was let go because of mismanagement and have now been out of work for four months. I was told I would be helped get my contract back but nothing has turned up. It has been the hardest and most humiliating experience to give everything (some days working 13-14 hours for 6 days) only to be let go.

This place could care less if you were in a car wreck and you had to get your leg amputated, they would still ask if you were coming into work that day. No room for growth, and forget having a life outside of work

You work 70+ hours a week. As a new CCA you will be doing a majority of the regulars work. So you will end up working 14 hour days while they go home after 8. You get one day off every nine days if you’re lucky. Management is unprofessional and has unreasonable expectations.

I enjoyed working for usps my job taught me a lot about time management. I also met great people that taught me a lot which led to promotions.

Worst experience I’ve ever had no help from management and outdated equipment to do your job , and overworked when I got my route done I had to go help carriers who have no pride in their government job

I applied and got hired. I helped that i had taken the USPS test and past. Tough test, but worth it.

I was using my vehicle and used my own gaz. I had the opportunity to see many areas in Charlotte which I wouldn’t have never known.

It was an experience. I was there for a total of about 9 weeks (summer break from college) I worked 60 hours 6 days a week. If you want to make money quick and legally this is the way. If you want to be happy and love your job, better get looking else where.

Wonderful office nice people, company stuck in the past, it's very hard to get ideas up that can make a difference.

I enjoyed my job, it was stressful at times, but post Master helped me through all my hard times. I was a sub driver so only worked Saturdays and when the main carrier needed off. I had a child at the time and working every Saturday was hard because it took me away from him on the weekends with his active life.

Worked for the company 21 years so far and working for this company has provided me with a comfortable living but that is it.
