"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 began working for USPS in September of 2017, and have been an employee for a little over 2 years. While working there I have enjoyed being in front of a computer screen and seeing how quickly and efficiently I can scan and document images. While I love the actual work, I find the management difficult. I find it difficult because depending on who it is dictates which rules are followed or taken into their own terms."

US Postal Service Employee

"Working for the United States Postal Service will allow you to have a pretty comfortable life; however, it's not your typical 9-5; as a Mail Carrier, you're not through until ALL mail has been delivered and you will work in ALL environmental elements. I can't speak on the entire USPS company just my experience as a Mail Carrier. The work hours can get hectic and if you're a single mother without any help from a partner or family the struggle of work life-time balance becomes real. The job role of the mail carrier is NOT single mother conducive."

"I am not too fond of being a City Carrier Assistant (CCA). When I first started, I was eager to get in field and deliver on my route. However, after being with the company for about nine months, I wish I would have pursued a different career choice in the United States Postal Service.This job is not for everyone."
