I recommend working at USPS
It does get busy but only on certain days, with good team work things do get done! Great benefits too! Management is good for the most part. You get to meet so many different people from different countries so diverse in culture
productive and focus your work
i like the company they are very equal what nationality where you from.

good benefits
Great pay, management is stuck in the 1950's. Good old boys club.
Promoting from within into high level management positions has killed the USPS. They think the people who got them into the financial mess that they are in are somehow going to get them out of it, (naïve or plain stupid). Need to axe 2/3 of the management and 1/3 of the dead wood clerks who don't care if they case 2 feet of mail per shift or 20 feet (and management doesn't care). They'll just make the other two thirds who actually work make up for the slack. Real fair system you got going there. No wonder half of the employees are on anti depressants or anti anxiety meds. The carriers work their butts off.

Horrific management decisions, paranoid supervisors.
If you're 20 and have nothing else to do, go for it!
As a CCA you are expected to be on-call EVERY day and you generally work EVERY day, including Sundays. At the end of each work day you are so tired you can't really do anything at all. At first you have extra energy, but then after 5 days you're ready for a day off. BUT, you don't get one. On nice days and when you get a route you've been on before, it will seem relatively easy. But then it rains. And you get a bundle full of ads that fall apart and won't fit in the tiny slots and you can't find the mail boxes and vicious dogs bark at you and the mail gets so wet it falls apart in your hand and you just want to break down and cry and then it gets dark and you can't see and you come back to the station and they tell you you aren't fast enough. Shall I continue?
Don't make any plans to do anything but work. You will make boatloads of money, but you will work your tail off for it. Have no expectations and pretend you love what you are doing otherwise it will get you down and you won't make it. If you can last a year...that's a long time...you may get on as a regular and then you'll have days off and life will get easier. But forget about it if you're older and if you have family and a life because you won't be able to do anything...like go shopping for food and cleaning your room...unless you are a super hero. Good luck!

Over-worked, under-appreciated
Unorganized and Hectic
A typical day at work would include a morning phone call telling me where and when I will be working. It could be at any Post Office in the Portland District. I could start between 7am and 11am. The offices are poorly managed as they can not even get a regular schedule together for their CCA's. The hardest part of this job is working 7 days a week with part time hours. A usual day would be 6-7 hours with Sundays being the exception taking around 4-6 hours.

Decent pay, easy work.

Terrible organization, no consistent schedule, no days off.
Mail Processing Clerk
Sort and distribute mail to go out for delivery, enter correct mail sorting program in computer in order to sort and process mail correctly, with great understanding when using the Flat Sorter program, Automation programs, and manual sorting accurately. Pay very close attention to details while working in a fast paced environment with no errors, completing tasks in timely fashion.

Unreliable work hours
I enjoyed my career at the USPS, the organization delivered a first class product to it's customers at a great value.
My career spanned over thirty years, therefore I worked on various shifts. My responsibility started with the set up of the manual flats (large envelops) sections. The staging of mail to be process was accomplished next. After the mail was process (sorted) to it's proper zones (zip codes), the mail was collected and distribute to the dispatching gate for that zone on schedule.
Management was great at allowing me to make decisions that increase the effectiveness of the unit. Many of my co-workers shared in this culture that management saw as a plus to the service.
There was no part of my job that was hard, the difficulty came about when I had to conduct my Union Steward responsibilities. This was due largely do to the fact, that in certain situations you can't please everyone. There was time when Management didn't understand/agree and times when co-workers were in the same situation. Overall the enjoyable times occurred at the end the day, when I felt I had done an honest days work for a days pay in all aspects of my positions.

Company doesn't care about anything but getting the job done
this company was terrible to work for. the management could care less about saving money or resources, all they cared about was getting the job done for the day. I watched some much time wasted and resources lost. also the company could care less about making a profit.

I like that job for my time in school
Worked as a clerk in the warehouse in support of mail sorting and shipping activities,
Dramatic Highschool work place.
Try to avoid working for the Post office if you value your social life/ personal relationships / free time.

Work 6 days a week for 6 months and see if you dont want to quit.
Easy job for the pay
A usual day includes seperation of mail, always adjusting to new ways of doing things as more technology comes into the work place, co-workers for the most part at many facilities are nice to work with. There really isn't a hard part of the job as it is easy to get along with everyone you work with and as long as your working productively and effeciently there are never any problems.

it was only seasonal employment
Unionized mgmt. rewards the immoral,dishonest,unethical types
THE case for no government unions. Honest people are stabbed in the back by the unions both at the craft level and in mgmt. Pro Marxist all the way. Lots of hate filled people feeling sorry for themselves.
