Finally a detailed video on this position ! Thank you for taking the time out and explaining the position and schedules . Wishing you the best and success on your journey.
You’re welcome! Absolutely, thank you for acknowledging the time I used to go over the job description, I really appreciate that.
Thank you for those great wishes. I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.

@@Positivity876 Well Hello Neka ,we made it through Xmas ! That was brutal they had us PSE on 17 day stretch. Hope your Xmas was good and relaxing.
I was hired into one man office RMPO as a PSE. It's so small, I am the only one here and I barely get customers, It's open for 4 hours and I work the window (mind you I am not window trained, I even use the RSS at the main office, how that works is beyond me) I sell stamps, collected mail and packages that are prepaid, I also help back and ship. This office only has 30 P.O Boxes and barely gets 5 inches of mail/flats a day. I am doing administrative tasks on my own personal work computer as If I am a supervisor or post master. There is nothing for me to do. I work 6 days a week, but I feel like I leave home just to go back home. I have a mini fridge, toaster, etc, I even bring my nintendo switch, because there will be hours that pass before I even get a customer. This is a dream position and I love that I am working alone, with no supervisor, I can't imagine working around other people at the Post Office in a standard office.
Do you drive far to get to your work? I have to drive 45 miles on the freeway to get to the Sacramento processing center where I see hundreds of people in December
@@pedrotinaco1 10 minute drive
Dang which city do you work in? Lol lucky !
You encouraged me to seek the smaller office mail handler position an hr away! Thank You almost accepted the bigger city
Hi do you only work 4 hours a day or more?
Hi Neka . I’m currently on the process for windows academy . I’m excited and nervous at the same time . I would like to know what’s the process like ? And if you have any advise for me , in general . Thank you 🙏
If you fail the window test twice, will the post still let you work at the station? Can you transfer to a plant if you don't like the station or don't need you at a station?
If you’re a PSE that failed the window test, you’re safe. If you’re a PTF, you are not safe. Transferring as a PSE is unheard of. The way it works is you stay at the station you got hired until you make PTF. At that point, you’ll get a list of other locations that are hiring for PTFs. You would apply and wait to be accepted.
What’s 2nd shift hours?
Greetings, I would like to know about the window exam (PSE)?
A large book will be provided to you once you start the training. You will not be able to take it home until the day before the exam. That’s if they haven’t changed that. There are two different exams provided. Feel free to check out my other video going over the window training exam. Good luck.
I’ve been working as a PSE for over 10 months. I remembered I work 12 hours my 2nd day. Hell, I worked a couple of 13-14 hour shifts as well. And split shifts: 4am to 8-9am distribution and comeback at 12:15am for window. (4-5 days a week) Split shifts suck but they had me stop doing them because they no longer need me for 4am distribution because we hired two PSEs MPCs. I’ve been doing mainly window, dispatch, parcels for next day and I can’t complain of my schedule. I now start 9:00am or if they need me to open the window 8:15am. A lot better than starting at 4:00am with split shifts. Patience, persistence, and perseverance are key on doing this job. Same shit everyday but easy money.💰
Wow, you were quite busy when you started. I’m glad that your schedule works perfectly for you now. I’ve heard these stories before and they are very interesting. I’ve never had to slip but the post office few miles out needed help and the post master asked me if I could go over there and help. I was there for the entire day. I actually liked going because I was able to get away from the energy in my post office. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sure it’ll be beneficial to many people. Take care.
I can’t until my turn hits 👊😎 This kind of schedule fits better with me. I use to work in law enforcement and use to it.
@@krystalscialdone1782 Nice. Your turn is right around the corner. Don’t forget to come back and share the good news! Right back at you! 👊🏼😎 Lol
@@Positivity876 I hope soon I have been waiting for a while now. Wondering if I will ever get a chance 🤔
@@krystalscialdone1782 How long has it been now? Did you contact the person that is listed on the bottom of the job announcement?
Hands down the best PSE SSDA job description video that I’ve ever seen. Very detailed and informative. Great job 👍🏾
Thank you so much. Take care!
Thank you for the description! I applied as a CCA in august and got the job but the training people never sent the orientation link for me to do the zoom meeting and the PM stopped responding to my emails. I think she gave up. I reapplied to another office for PSE/SSDA. I’ve been fingerprinted, all background checks etc done. I met that post master today. He seems very chill and was very transparent with me. My dad is 2 states away and has been a carrier for 25 years. I am hoping all goes well and I actually get to work. I’m not young. I’m 39 but I want the benefits that come from the USPS. My dad was 40 when he started too. I’m ready to work and don’t mind hard work. I’m sure my body will go through some growing pains but I am excited. I’d love to become career. Fingers crossed!!
You’re welcome, and congrats! You’re doing a good thing here and I admire your persistence. It’s also great that you don’t mind hard work. It will reflect on your paycheck, I’m sure you’ll enjoy that. Your dad put a lot of time in and I see you’re getting ready to put yours in. Good luck with everything. Age is nothing but a number in this case. You’re still young by the way! Take care.
Thanks a million! Perfectly explained. You are the one who encouraged me after they rescinded an offer a few months ago. Now my start date is next week and I couldn't be happier. God bless you for taking the time to detail and share your journey and experiences with us. XOXO
Oh my, you’re very welcome! This message means a lot to me and I highly appreciate it. I’m glad I could help.
Thank you for the great wishes and I wish you many more great moments like this to come. 🎉🎊🥳☺️
How has it been goin??
@@shante9785 it’s going good. The holiday season is approaching and post offices need help because the packages have increased tremendously. I’m overworked but hanging in there. Where are you in the hiring process?
Thank you for this detailed, well-explained video. I was a mail carrier for about a couple of months and because I did not want to leave the post office altogether I applied for a PSE Sales & Services position. I must say that people have absolutely no idea how USPS works behind the scenes.
You’re welcome, and I understand. Thank you for watching.
6 days a week? Oh hell no. I have a life. Seems like any department at the post office you'll be working 6 days a week. No thank you. Great video though. Thanks for explaining.
You’re welcome. Trust me, I understand.
I know that's crazy!!!! I am a dancer, and I could never have a schedule like that!!!
@@MetalHeadBabe777 right
Hello, Ms.Neka. I've applied for this very position (PSE Sales & Distribution) back in April, I've scored an 82. I've submitted my finger prints back in May. I'm currently on the "pre-hire'' list, would you happen to know when I may be contacted by someone from the USPS?
any update on your hiring process?
I would like to work fit the postal service but the hours are ridiculous.. I wana live a life and get paid at the same time
I completely understand. The post office wouldn’t be a good fit because of the work/life balance.
I thank you for this video. I got a 100 on my Assessment. I was contacted, and I submitted all my info for the role. I also am waiting for the fingerprint appointment. I heard, once you score between 90 and 100, that you will get fast tracked. So far, that is proving true. I am a bit concerned about the hours, because as you said, you basically will have no life. However, I do need the money. So I will look forward to the challenge, and pray for a location that is "winning" and that has good energy with a great supervisor. Your video is what I needed to know what to expect. My role is a PSE, but I think I may get offered more than what the starting pay is, based on my assessment. What are your thoughts?
Congrats! I don’t believe the speed of the hiring process is determined by the score. From the time you submit the application to accepting the position, it doesn’t take much longer from there. I’m glad my video was able to get you a better understanding and insight on what to expect. Also, a new employee is not offered more than the pay rate for the position that they accept. The assessment does not have anything to do with how much you get paid. Your hourly rate is located on the job announcement that you applied to, and that amount will reflect on your paycheck/stub. However, your pay will increase as you put time in. Good luck with your new endeavors and happy holidays to you.
How long does it take to convert to a PSE regular? Today marks my 120 days of being a CCA and I just accepted a conditional job offer for PSE SSD this morning and start on November 19. This coming Sunday the 13th is my last day as a CCA and then my 5 day break in service begins.
Hi. It takes anywhere from months to years. Congrats on switching roles/position. There’s a shortage in most, if not all post offices so you’ll make PTF faster than normal. Good luck.
So I applied for Pse processing mail clerk but it look like I’ll be placed at an local post office not a plant .. any advice on that ? I don’t want to work the window will I have too ?
I’m being forced to work the window when I applied to be a pse at the plant, they had me working covid kits earlier in the year and was released then called back but to an office as a window clerk/ pitching parcels. Retail is not really my forte I’m going to be honest, test is tomorrow and I’m going to try my best to pass but at the same time I don’t want to be a window clerk. I could just be overthinking it but idk a few of us in my class are a bit upset they put us at the window.
Hello I know you posted this some time ago but what ever happened? Did they give you the position you applied to or did you work the Sales/Service Side?
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for this detailed video. God bless you and take care.
Sorry for the late reply! You’re very welcome. God bless you as well, good luck.
Can you give some pointers on taking the postal assessment? Thanks in advance!!!
U really explain everything and it all CORRECT. Thanks
You’re welcome! 😉
How do you know if you are being hired for PSE or PTF Sales, SVCS, & Distribution Associate for post office station?
You know based on your initial application. It will say it.
Do you have a option to not do the cash register ? I’m currently a RCA
Hello! I go in for my finger printing for this exact position. I am super scared now because of the hours and schedule.. Can you tell me if they pay you for the mileage for split shifts? It sounds pretty annoying to have to drive to work and back twice a day if for split shifts.. THANKS hoping u can answer this question
Thank you for this video! Your video really helps me visualize what I'm getting myself into. I applied for this position on 01/21/22, completed the assessment on 01/23/22, received the conditional offer on 01/28/22. I gathered that it took longer to hear back because they extended the job posting by two days. I assume it was because they needed a specific amount of applicants to apply before they closed the position. I accepted the offer on 01/29/22 and completed the NACI and SF 85 Questionnaire on 01/29/22. I'm pending the fingerprinting capture, which needs to be done by 02/02/22. I sent an email to my point of contact on 01/29/22 (Saturday) but will call her on Monday, 01/31/22 to confirm an appointment for the fingerprinting. My time is ticking away! So far, it's been some effort to apply although I feel it will be well worth it. No real surprises at all although there is a lot "I don't know what I don't know".
You’re welcome! It’s great that you’re almost there. Well, I’m assuming that you should’ve already started by now. Exactly, you don’t know what you don’t know. However, it’s a great career path overall. Good luck with your postal career, and I’m sure you will do great things. Take care!
@@Positivity876 It's ironic that you posted this comment today. I just found out about an hour ago. I start orientation on 02/28/22. From applying for this career job on 01/30/22 to getting the orientation email - 24 days. Not bad!
@@christophersboland That’s amazing and exciting! 24 days, not bad at all.
How is it? I was offered a position today for the Pse sales and distribution
4am , are you Amish? That’s like the middle of the night! Jk
Do you have to be bilingual? I’m Hispanic and my Spanish is hilarious
Great video. I got offered a PSE Sales and Dist position Dec 1. I am still waiting on a start date. I have never heard of such a long waiting time. It has me nervous. Can you shed some light on this?
You are now on government time, and they aren’t fast. My dad has been a carrier for 25 years so he has been very valuable for information. It is a long process, but for me I want to work hard and hope to make this my lifelong career. Good luck to you!
ok. i took the 477. its confusing because ive seen listings on ecareer listed for a window clerk with career benefits. then the one i applied for for sales and distribution career position w a 477 test. i guess i was trying to figure out the dif between the jobs.
I hate to be that person but just so you know if the higher ups at your job find out about these videos you’ve put on here you can get into trouble and possibly fired. I don’t know why they are so serious about it but there was another girl on here who did the same thing and she got suspended pending an investigation. It’s a very informative video though and I’m sure it helps new people anxious about their new job.
Thank you! I’m going for my fingerprints tomorrow! My position is for a PSE SALES & SVCS/DISTRIBUTION ASSOCIATE. Is this the position you describe in this video?
You’re welcome! That’s great, you’re almost there. Yes, it’s the same position. Good luck 👍🏼
Your video is very informative, thank you so much for that! There’s a few things I was not aware of until now. I have Window Academy coming up and have to take the test. Any advice on the test? Like anything specific I should focus on? Thanks again
Jessica Fernandez , how long since you been working at the post office??
@@corihiggins6689 Good morning 😊 My first day in the office will be tomorrow! I just finished with orientation this week. I have window training in 1 week!
@@Jessicapinkrose06 I applied but still waiting on orientation it’s been a month . How long was your process if you don’t mind . And congratulations mami 😘
@@corihiggins6689 Thank you! 😊

@@Jessicapinkrose06 thank you so much and congratulations again
thank you for this! i already did my fingerprints and go in the morning for my interview… they told me to bring my driver’s license and social security with me to the interview so i’m taking that as a good sign 🤞🏽
You’re welcome, It’s definitely a good sign. You’re almost there.
How was the interview? What did they ask?
@@dijahjones There was no interview for me
@@dijahjones it was basically a formality i start in two weeks. only about 6 questions just asking about my experience and attendance
@@justinevasquez8867 Did they let you choose your shift? Do you work 6 days?
I want to thank you so much finally found someone which entered in the same position I will be entering in as on 11/20/21. I am going in as a PTF Sales Service Distribution & window Clerk. The office is very small 2 windows and the PM told me she can only guarantee me 3 hrs a day until I get my window training and she doesn’t know when that will be, which makes me frantic since I am resigning from a FT position and have a family to feed and rent to pay. Thanks for breaking the work down and explaining things.
Congrats on your new position! It will get better once you pass the window training exam. Expect to start training within a month. I would be surprised if you start after a month, they have been pushing out the new clerks within 10-20 days. Yes, I’m glad my experience helped. You’re very welcome and congrats again! 🍾🎉🥳😌
I got a job as a PSE MPC at a station. I have orientation on April 8th and then Window Training that starts on the 9th
Hi so I accepted the PSE position and found out I will have to work other locations then come to the location of which I am hired at and work the window will they reimburse me for my gas having to drive to the other locations to throw packages? And the facility I have to work the window at is a very small town with a population of 230 people I am wondering if I will be there by myself working
Thank you for elaborating on the position. I go for my fingerprinting tomorrow for the PSE Sales Svcs/distribution position
You’re so welcome. Oh nice! You’ll be in soon enough. Congrats 🎉
Hello! My pre hire processing starts on 12/17 and my EOD is 12/18 and orientation will be 12/20-12/22. Will this position be FT or PT?
Postal Support Employee, your not guaranteed 40 hours before being a career employee. If I’m not mistaken, so your basically there to support the post office if needed. Orientation should give you a paper that explains this information. If your lucky you might get a office that desperately needs help and will continuously give you hours. If not I’m sure you can help out surrounding offices who are in need of help.
Hi! In order to know the answer to your question, you would have to revisit the job announcement you applied to. It should say career position or something else outside of that. Since you’re starting during the holidays, you will be doing overtime. Once the holiday rush is over, your hours “should” slow down if you’re not career, or as you stated “full time.”Take care.
I am soo thankful for this video
I have question,does need a interview for pse sale and services position after take 477 assessment?Thank you
Hello, there is currently no interview. Good luck!
I used to work for Fed Ex and always started at 4:30 am. So I’m used to it. Hopefully I get those hours
how do you know which position you are hired for? the window or the handler. usps just lists the position as sales and distribution..
A person is hired for the exact position that they apply for. You will know which position it is because you applied for it. I’m only breaking things down here.
On to the next part, the “window” is anything that runs in the line of Sales & Services Distribution Associate. If there is an assessment for 477, you’ll be at the window. The “handler” you mentioned is an entire different position. Mail Handlers do not work at the window.
This isn’t the window clerk position is it ? I know some positions combine both cross training ?
Hi. It is the window clerk position.
just got a career position offer thanks for this video I wasn't going to accept it button I am
Congrats! 🎊🎉🍾
Thanks for the video now I’m kind of reconsidering. I already work for a plant and received my offer letter yesterday morning but have yet to accept it. As much as I hate working overnight I get my two days off now if I take the offer I might get 1 idk what to do.🥴
Ok so what type of experience do you need to get the job? 🤔
None. All they require is that you pass the 477 assessment. Feel free to check out my membership program which guide you through the 477 assessment.
So I’m on the prehire list my only concern is everybody tells me that’s a part time that becomes a full time I got for now a decent job I can’t see a scenario where I leave my full time for a part time
Absolutely, a part time job is most times not financially sustainable. You would have to figure out the post office of where you’ll be working, then call the post master and ask what would your hours look like. He/she will be able to tell you that. I hope it works out for you.
have to call the number on the announcement
Very informative. Thank you
Im currently a CCA but was previous a regular carrier a couple yrs ago before I resigned for personal reason. I came back but now I want to try something else because starting allll over , SUUUUCKS! Do you know how long it can take to convert ?
Sorry for the late response. I can imagine how frustrating it is to advance in a position, resign, start over again in the same field, and have to work your way up from scratch. I commend you on that.
If it’s within the district 12 month and outside the district 18 months.
Hi Neka
I applied to a 1 and a half hr away for SSDA. Do you think if I get called for an interview and I’m fortunate to get hired as a career do you think I’ll get full time and when would I need to take the window test
I just applied for this position , I’m excited !
Yayyy!
the position that's listed it's considered a pse clerk??
PSE position is similar to a PTF/Career position. However, the PSE can eventually get to a PTF title. I did not work in the post office as a PSE. Check out my video “How to Become a Career Employee.” It’ll give you the insight that you’re looking for. Take care.
@@Positivity876
Thank you for this video it's very informative. I've been watching your videos. I'll do my orientation next week for PSE SSDA.
You’re welcome. Congrats on making it through!
Hi thank you for all of your information. I just got hired for PSE ssda. I have orientation March 17. I have a question because the station I was assigned too says 814 and that means I’ll be window trained. What will I be doing on sundays ?
Hello did you find out what you will be doing on Sundays? I just got hired and it says on my paper 814.
good advice. suggestions and info. thank you.
You’re welcome.
Thank you for this video. I start my training in two weeks. I will be doing this position (non window) I just wanted to be lowkey and not have to interact with too many people so I picked this one instead of the window. Lol what are your thoughts on this position ?
You’re welcome. For clarification, what position are you hired for?
Hello, can you tell me how you got a career opportunity so fast? Did you apply for a career opportunity because I was told it can take some years.
Hi. All I did was apply to the position I wanted. I went to orientation and the host kept saying “wow, you’re lucky to get a career position.” Even then, it didn’t occur to me until I saw how much I was getting paid. That’s when I understood what was going on. I will make a video on this matter. Take care.
I will have interview and fingerprints tomorrow. The thing that I worried is will i able to choose the working hours that match with the bus schedule
Congrats! Your postmaster will tell you what your schedule is. Hopefully it aligns with the bus schedule.

Is everything at the 4 different post office your worked at … is it the same thing you do over & over … don’t everyone have their own strategy the work it?
Yes, it’s the same thing you do over and over. However, each post office has their way of doing something. For example, at my post office we scan a specific bar code twice. At another post office, they scan the same barcode once.
Essentially, the overall job description is the job description regardless of the post office. Hope that makes sense.
Can you still work at the post office if you fail the window clerk test? Do you get 40 hours a week working as a Sales and Distribution Association?
Yes, if you were hired as a PSE. No, if you were hired as career (PTF).
Yes and no regarding 40 hours. You will either be overworked or work less than 40 hours. Sometimes a slit, few hours in the morning, and then few in the evening.
If you are a 814 window clerk and fail you will be terminated, if you're a 813 ( distribution) then you can work in the back if you fail
@@Positivity876I have a question i was offered pse sales & svcs/distribution associate so I passed the first exam with a 88 but im also hearing there’s another exam that I have to take. If I don’t pass that exam will I be fired? Or will they keep me. They said I would be part time then will covert to career after 2 years
Thank you for this information. 👍🏾

I just started working as a PSE mail processing clerk. In the interview they did not tell me that I would be scanning packages outside on the dock in the heat. It is 116 degrees here in AZ. They also did not inform me about using pallet jacks and pushing and pulling almost 100 lbs. I have a spine problem and in my neck, I'm concerned that if I continued its going to exacerbate the problem and ill end up injured. My question to you is do you have to work the PSE mail processing clerk position for 90 days before you can apply to the PSE sales & service distribution clerk position?
That’s terrible! Yes, you will be able to apply to something else after the 90 days. Good luck 🍀
@@Positivity876 if I resign, do u know how long before I can reapply to another position? I don't know if I can make it 90 days in this 116 degree weather we have had for 3 weeks straight. I've already had heat exhaustion/stroke from dehydration.

Professionally, you should wait on them but it doesn’t hurt to take matters in your own hands. If you do go without the approval of the scheduling department, you would have to play it off because they have the names of everyone who’s supposed to be in that class. You can let them know (only if they’re questioning you being there) that you gave them the date(s) of when you would be there. Worst thing can happen is that they send you home, and you already know the best thing, right?? Lol

Hi Neka Ross
If I am in the ext phase for mail handler position in a plant in Manhattan where I live and I recently applied for pse sales and distribution in Bronx -in general no exact address does that mean I’m prone to work a few stations in the Bronx and if I get call for the MHA orientation should I go and when I’m called for the pse sales can I still go there. Please help
Btw thank you for your well detailed explanation of this video 👍
I was in this very same position. I accepted the Mail Handler position because the PSE/Sales & Services Distribution Associate position was canceled. I started searching around and found another PSE/Sales & Services Distribution Associate position, so o applied. Although it was risky, I declined my offer for the Mail Handler position and kept my fingers crossed that everything will work out the way I wanted it. I even had my start date for the Mail Handler position but I didn’t care because that’s not what I really want. Eventually it worked out for me and I got what I wanted.
I explained my situation to show you where my mind frame was. It’s really up to you. I know that Mail Handler position is generally 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week. You will be in love with your paycheck, but you will not have a life. I don’t know for sure if you’ll be prone to work a few stations but that is how it works. As I’ve explained in the video, you may not get enough hours. I was just lucky to get an abundance of hours to the point where it’s overwhelming. Now that I’ve taken the time to explain, it’s all in your hands. Best of luck to you.
Neka Ross I am thankful you responded to me and explained thoroughly your own journey. From one 🇯🇲 To another 🇯🇲

Hi Neka Ross
How you doing so far? I requested to follow u on Instagram. I got a question - if I applied to Pse ssda last week and it had said in process application then but this week it says in process pre hire list is that good also I had seen a ssda career but it’s 3hrs away and it’s still saying in process application entry -do you suggest I DELETED the faraway one and keep fingers cross for the pse ssda or wait for response then decline? Please help
Thanks Sis
@@miss_ann6664 Hi Ann 👋🏼. The application status changed because it is progressing to the next step in the hiring process. Yes, that is definitely a good thing. As far as the career position that’s 3 hours away, it wasn’t clear if you applied. However, If you did apply, then fine. It’s good to have multiple applications.
You asked for me suggestion… I’m not willing to drive three hours for a job, so I wouldn’t entertain the distance unless I’m willing to move. If I’m willing to move, I would be all over the career position but still have other options. Hope that makes sense. Distance or down the street, always have multiple applications.
At some point, you are going to be forced to choose one by accepting the position. You are also able to decline a position that you accept if you’re more interested in another position. Hope you have some clarity moving forward. Good luck to you 😊
Great video..Do you have to have experience working as a pse sales svcs / distribution associate position?. Thinking to apply for this position.
Thank you. Not at all, go ahead and apply right away because it takes about two month to start working. There’s an initial assessment but nothing difficult. You’ll be fine. Good luck.
@@Positivity876 You are welcome and thank you for replying me back..I am going to apply right now .You have a Blessed weekend.
@@beyourself7215 You’re welcome, no problem 😊.
Oh great, feel free to inform me on your progress.
@@Positivity876 Update: Currently on Pre-Hire list..Don't know how long it will stay like that.
@@beyourself7215 Sorry for the late response. Don’t pay too much attention to that, mine reflected the same thing months after being hired. You should have your orientation date by now. How’s it going?
I just applied for PSE SALES & SERVICES/DA..I pass the assessment
Do I wait to get a call/email about the next step? I’ve heard it’s takes months or a year just to get a call from USPS
Generally, they’re interested in hiring one person for the PSE position. If your scores are great, it should take 2 months from start to orientation. Good luck!
Hi! How much is the weight you have to lift by union agreements?
Hi! I know it goes over 35 lbs inside the post office. Generally, we’re not “lifting” the weight up. We push heavy packages down and slide it to where we need it to go. We also transport those in carts with wheels. Anything super heavy, we’ll ask for assistance from coworkers. The heaviness is not outrageous.
What do PSE’s max out at? Do they get raises? I saw that they max out at $19 but I thought they start around there. Do all post offices have PSE’s? Will you always have to work super early (2am-4am) or super late (10pm-1AM?) is there no in between?
I’m not sure what the max is because people are reluctant to share their salary/hourly rate. As you know, there are people who have been clerks for over 20 years. I would imagine that it’s a substantial amount. I started at $22.15 but I was lucky to start as a career employee (PTF). A PSE would start at $18/$19 an hour. I think the max pay might be in late $30s or $40 per hour for a clerk with over 20 years. However, as I said, I’m not sure. Just a guess.
No, all post offices do not have PSEs. Mine does not.
I’ve only heard of one situation where a PSE was working earlier than 4:30 am, but the norm is as early as 4:30 am. As far as lateness, 7 pm would be it. Anything beyond that is not the norm.
PSEs generally spit hours, such as 2-3 hours in the morning and then 2-3 hours in the pm.
All employee compensation for the USPS is public record, poke around on google and you can find a recent list. The lead clerk in my APO makes $67k a year, she has worked there for decades. Most of them make around $23 an hour.
Thanks this video was very informative I go get my fingerprints done in the morning I’m excited to start working at the post office
You’re welcome. Great! I’m excited for you.
Wow, this was very informative, and scary, 😆 thank you! The post office I’m waiting to start at has three stations in that city, only one has carriers, but the other ones do-see customers. If I wanted more hours could I go to a neighboring city station? Or you can only go to stations with in that city? It’s a lot of work but I ready for it! I will be watching this many times. Thanks again
You’re welcome ! I’m glad that I was able to give you a better insight on the job description. Yes, I hope you have welcoming clerks there.
Definitely, speak to your post master about more hours if that becomes the situation there. He/She will be able to get you squared away. Also, there might be a way around that if he/she doesn’t care to help. Let me know how it goes. I’m excited for you and I wish you the best at your soon to be post office 😌
@@Positivity876 thank you, will do!
