Area Post Offices are hiring more than 1500 employees to help with the coming holiday season and beyond.  Working for the Postal Service means you will be employed by America’s most trusted brand while providing vital services to the nation.

The Postal Service offers competitive wages for pre-career entry level positions such as letter carriers, rural route carriers, mail handlers, mail processing clerks and retail clerks. In these entry-level jobs, new employees earn valuable experience that may qualify them for a full-time position, eventually leading to a long, prosperous, and fulfilling career.

Career employees can earn premium long-term benefits that complement good pay. Some of the benefits include:

• Multiple health and life insurance choices
• Pension benefits and a Thrift Savings Plan program, similar to a 401(k)
• Vacation time and sick leave

USPS is an organization that promotes largely from within, offering career development to help prepare employees achieve their professional goals. Training programs include entry-level functional job-related training, technical hands-on learning, new supervisor training, and management-to-executive level development.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.
