Pros
Pension. Apparently it's one of the best. The interview process was pretty easy You get a lot of cardio as a Letter Carrier
Cons
What good is having a pension if you're too sick broken down or too dead to even use it? There's no time for breaks. When you're out on your route they don't account for breaks. I've only been doing this for 3 months but it's the worst job I've had in a while. You get no sense of accomplishment at the end of the day because you are so busy doing your route that you have to neglect basic human needs, like eating, drinking or going to the bathroom. That's right there is ever a time to go to the bathroom so you hopefully find one on your route. Or P in a cup in the back of your step van; yes I've done it and still have others. Not a great feeling. For the experience they can get everything done but as a newbie you will physically kill yourself. You get vilified for getting overtime because EXPERIENCED carriers do it faster. But when you ask, no one tells you how to do it quicker.
