Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN... back to college, back to your old job, back to unemployment!! And do it while you're young! The average age of a postal worker is 55 and most of the workers I speak to are all afraid for their jobs, pensions and workplace environment. What a way to work!"
What don't you like about working at US Postal Service?
"Lots of talk (key word: talk) about advancement opportunities, but classes beneficial to advancement are constantly cancelled, personal involvement and investment in your job - whether through cost saving suggestions, money making suggestions or workplace environment suggestions - they all go ignored and, at times, not even acknowledged, unlike any place I've ever worked. Personality clashes between workers (and management versus workers alike) are allowed to fester, instead of being taken care of, due to ineffective management, and have resulted in workplace violence and hostility that has blown into fistfights and physical/verbal abuse in the workplace. Again, unlike any place I've ever seen and is VERY physically and verbally intimidating. Management in my office (and others, I must admit) is VERY verbally abusive, abuses their absolute power in the military style run post office system and is constantly very personally insulting. The USPS workplace mantra, a workplace with dignity and respect, free of violence, is constantly ignored by individual managers, making us enjoy our out of office, independent work tremendously due to the incohesive workplace."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"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."
"The work there was boring, but paid decently."
"At Web US Mail, the work environment was like a family we all worked well together."
