"The main reason why someone would become a mail carrier: it pays well. The base pay is not all that exciting; you make all your money by working constantly. I often work 6 days/wk, often and 10 hrs/day. In the past 2 months, I have made over $9K (seriously). The cons are plenty: long hrs/days, having little work-life balance, stress, and inclement weather to deal with. If you can learn to roll with the punches and suck it up, the paychecks sure make it worthwhile."

"I've worked for the United States Postal Service since 2017 and while it is a demanding position, it is also a rewarding one. Being able to interact with the community you work in is a blessing and allows you to grow as an individual and a worker. The management works with you in ensuring a positive work environment for their employees and their customers. Having a union representative on the job gives workers a sense of relief knowing that they will be protected and looked after. The benefits are wonderful as well for anyone who wants to feel secure in their personal lives once they are home for work. I'd recommend this job to anyone who is willing to serve their country!"

"While working the past few years, I've learned how to deal with different types of people, whether it's co-workers or customer/patients.
