1.6 In an attempt to understand the deterioration of the United States Post Office, one can look directly at the treatment of their associates: specifically, the Rural Carrier Associates (RCA). While I have a personal interest in the way business is handled when it comes to the RCAs, I will do my best to maintain objectiveness. However, I was emotionally vested in the USPS because I believed in the rhetoric when I was hired as an RCA. According to Indeed website, there are approximately 1,104 RCAs in the United States; which means this will make little to no impact within the USPS. However, I hope it will reach enough people to influence a few people who are interested in applying for the position. I will endeavor not to be Machiavellian with this observation. This is a direct observation within the Richmond, Virginia district, so my lens is limited in a small pool of the USPS. Nonetheless, if my experience with the USPS in the Richmond district is a reflection of how the rest of the USPS runs as a company, then it is likely there will be a significant change in how people receive their mail because the post office is going to fail. The position as a Rural Carrier Associate is a better than average pay position. I do not have any complaints about the pay. However, there is a serious flaw in how RCAs are paid. While City Carrier Associates CCAs use a standard electronic time clock, Rural Carriers and RCAs use a timesheet to track their hours. It is the responsibility of management and supervisors to maintain the integrity of the hours RCAs work. Unlike the time clock, the timesheet is a seriously flawed system when it comes to keeping track of RCA hours. Rural carriers have fixed routes and their hours rarely fluctuate. RCAs do not have the luxury of staying on one route, which means time sheets, handwritten times, are supposed to be tracked by management. Unfortunately, there has been a consistent problem with payroll for RCAs.

Don't! There is no chance of promotion or progression in Postal Service and I don't foresee it getting any better in the next decade unless drastic changes come about and then it would be near impossible for anyone to start at the bottom and even think about getting full time work with any kind of stability. That's my take on it. Don't interview for Postal Service, it's just not worth your time.

2 I would: stop insulting the intelligence of the workforce, and, yes, the USPS unions, so much with financial propaganda - they bring home the actual bacon, not lie to the American postal patron about our financial status - if we overpaid the retirement fund by $81billion (see Jan and Aug 2010 OIG reports), we made a decent profit with nothing but postage revenue, correct, fire the accountants and financial reviewers who, over years, overpaid the retirement fund by $81 billion, and caused the great loss of confidence of USPS employees (and postal consumers alike) in the proper management of the Postal Service, seek employee involvement by LISTENING to ALL the employees - who better to try and save their jobs than the very ones threatened to lose them, work better with my peers (IE - OIG), focus on getting the workforce engaged in the service and pride aspect of their jobs-the rewarding aspects of this occupational atmosphere that serve the personality traits of the longest serving employees, project a more positive outlook for our company so the employees don't feel like helpless dunnage on a sinking ship - not a current productive workplace environment, solicit AND LISTEN TO employee contributions and suggestions - who better to mold the company into the true SERVICE organization it was formed to be than the employees who have direct contact with the people we serve and hear their needs on a daily basis, enforce our ascribed workplace culture in EVERY office by listening to its employees and customers alike, not permitting individual fiefdoms to exist for management's individual personal agendas.

US Postal Service Careers & Info

Current CEO (Postmaster General): Louis Dejoy

Status: Active

The United States Postal Service is the government agency responsible for the processing and delivery of first-class and domestic mail throughout the United States. This agency has been in existence throughout America’s entire history, starting in 1775 during the Second Continental Congress. With over 574,000 employees in various post office locations, processing centers and satellite offices, the USPS is the 48th largest employer after Wal-Mart and Best Buy and the second-largest civilian employer in the United States. In 2010, the USPS generated over $67 billion in revenue.

Working at USPS can be a fast-paced and physically demanding experience at times, especially for those working in larger and busier post office or bulk center locations. However, United States Postal Service employees are well compensated for working extra hours, weekends and night shifts with overtime, night shift differential and Sunday pay.

The average salary range for those working with the United States Postal Service is between $16,000 and $122,000 per year, with a median salary at $38,000 per year. As an example, mail carriers can expect estimated annual wages between $38,490 and $55,790, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

United States Postal Service careers can last for a lifetime, due to the generous opportunities for career advancement. The USPS offers a number of programs to those who desire leadership positions within the company. The Associate Supervisor Program, Managerial Leadership Program and Advanced Leadership Program offer comprehensive classroom and on-the-job instruction for supervisory and managerial responsibilities within the USPS.

New hires will find the United States Postal Service culture to be one where dedication to public service and dependability are paramount in employees. Excellent customer service skills are a must, since most USPS employees interact with the general public at various points in their workday. Employees are expected to treat customers as well as one another with the utmost professional courtesy and respect.

USPS benefits are in flux due to the current economic climate and the postal service’s need for reducing operating costs. For now, new hires within the USPS automatically apply for inclusion in the Federal Employees Health Benefits program, with tax-free employee premium contributions and broad coverage. Other benefits include life insurance through the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance program, annual and sick leave, flexible spending accounts and participation in the federal retirement program.
