"When it comes to UPS it’s one of the four founding fathers when it comes to postal service. The ethics and systems at my current job have been great to help me grow in my work environment and my hone. United postal service has so much room to grow within the company. Keeping the future in mind from the hiring date, you constantly are informed that you can do so much if you stay with the company.Benefits unlike most other places and so much more are attainable working for the United Postal Services."

"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."

"6+ years and still not a career employee"
