Pros

The only good thing is they pay a little more than average but there's alot of confusion to the job

Cons

You will be hired and then realize its conditional to passing a almost three week training course with a exam and a sorting test. The exam part is open book and it is a lot of information so even with having a book to look through as reference if your unsure of the answer you may not have time to scroll through it too many times. The sorting test can create alot of anxiety. You will only have 5-6 days out of the three weeks to get your speed up with sorting 120 letters into a case in ten minutes with only being alowed one mistake. The rest of the time your out shadowing a letter carrier to get on the job training. So if your not doing great at the sorting when your class time is up and you then have to go out for days and days of shadowing to come back to the class at the end and do the test then goood luck!! You could be a potentially great employee and if you sort the mail in ten minutes and 30 seconds or 11 minutes your out!When you just needed a bit more practice and could have been great theres no chance. Its so much information in such a short period of time and you ether get it or you dont.
