Great place to work
Sales/Service Distribution Associate (Former Employee), Charlotte, NC –
I enjoyed working there ...co-workers were fun and I cross trained so that I could assist in different areas if needed. The most enjoyable part of the job was running the mail sorter machines and meeting new people.

Hard work, odd hours but good pay.
Box Truck Driver (Former Employee), Murfreesboro, Tn. –
It was split shift seven days a week. I stayed tired because there was never a full night of sleep. The best part was watching the sun rise every morning driving down the four lane. Most of my co-workers were only seen for about fifteen minutes a day while unloading thier mail. No real communacation. The hardest part of the job was staying on time. – more...  Traffic matters were not thier concern and they let you it. I learned that even the nicest person could be a wolf. – less

Great pay, not a lot of room for a social life
Rural Carrier Associate (Former Employee), Coweta, OK –
Pros: great pay
Cons: no benefits, unless hired on full time, which takes years
Work is done at a very fast paste. There is never a moment when there is nothing to do. Great learning experience, managers are very helpful. Co-workers are very helpful yet there are those who get caught up in gossip, which could be because working at the post office it becomes your life and there isnt a whole lot to do when you are off because of – more...  how tired you will be. Hardest part of the job is the weather conditions. The most enjoyable part is being out on the roads, fresh air. – less
