USPS 3 Best Jobs in the Processing Plant

[@MarieAdventure]

Key-ing and scanning the parcels are jobs of Mail Processing Assistants and PSE. But there are many no shows and call-offs during Saturdays and Sundays. Due to that, supervisors also assign MHA to cover the shortage of manpower on weekends to meet the daily quota.

[@rekhabista6064]

Hi Marie ! Your videos are very informative. Can you tell me what is the meaning of "Pre Hire List" please ? Will USPS call "Pre-Hire List' People for job?

[@MarieAdventure]

@@rekhabista6064 It means you pass the exam and at the first step of hiring process. They still have to do a background check NASI then fingerprint (biometric) before you get hired.

@@MarieAdventure when you first start as a MHA how many days a week do you work? Also how long does it usually take to make regular as a MHA?

[@MarieAdventure]

@@user-ii8em7hb4d I was working 10 hours a day 5 days a week when I first landed my job. After that, they increased it to 12 hrs/day 6days/wk. Normally it takes 2 years to become a regular employee, but last year they did a fast track and promoted all the temp to regular.

I’m a USPS MAILHANDLER RETIREE of 25 years..MH’s rule /great job -great people..had a dock job for my last 15 years in USPS!Good luck to all MH’s👍Shout out to ALBANY NY GMF!!!

[@MarieAdventure]

Thank you!

[@Ty0688]

Hey may I ask during your 15 years did you receive raises? Was it a livable/adult job for you to be able to handle your business? Did you have access to OT, PTO, vacation days, and benefits?

[@cycleguy1943]

@@Ty0688 In my 25 years/you got raises according to the USPS CONTRACT every 4 years/so over that time you got increases in increments.Every PO installation OT was different by size of employees and amount of work and staffing.You get paid vacation (12 hrs) per month which you can accumulate up to 444hrs per year/again by service time in PO was your vacation time(2-3-4-5weeks) according to your years in service.You can use your ANNUAL TIME for a day off or more,this time again is accumulating time like I said previously!You get 12 hours per month for sick time(sick emergencies)you can accumulate as much of that as long as you’re WORKING!!..No CAP on that. I lasted 25 years,sure it was 95-2020,but it gave me a decent retirement,you can also get into a separate 401k which PO will match whatever you put into it up to 5%…Hey no layoffs,job security with retirement..hard to beat that today..hope I answered your questions and good luck to you!!

Wow at our plant the PSE’s and Clerks sit at top of the conveyor belt. The Mail Handlers load the belt.

[@MarieAdventure]

As a seasonal employee, the supervisor assign MHA's to do the key-ing/scanning of the parcels specially on Saturdays and Sundays because a lot of employees doesn't show up on weekends. Since then they mix up MPA and MHA to avoid shortage of manpower and meet the daily quota minimum of 30,000 parcels per day. The supervisor also get a reward by meeting and exceeding the quota.

[@bvbowler247]

Started a couple months ago been doing 6 and 7 days a week going into peak season soon where it be 7 days a week for a month or more 12 hours a day also that row of box you showed is either Adus or Apbs and adus ties out to LCUS or also know as fingers where I mainly work as a MHA or dispatch sometimes but they like me at lcus

I’m glad it’s working good for you 🤓

[@LearnGrow82]

@Marie Adventure: Thank you for making and sharing your USPS videos. They are helpful. I have a few questions regarding the job at timestamp 3: 13. It shows the employee sitting down in a chair scanning the packages on a conveyor belt. 1) What is the exact name for that job position? 2) Also, does that employee have to lift, carry or pull anything that is heavy? 3) Is there a job position where this can be done with letters instead of packages?

You won't know until you try. It depends where they assign you, maybe you can request to be in the area where they key or scan the mails so you will be sitting the whole time.

[@ericvil600]

[@youtubetrucker8203]

When I was a carrier in NYC I used to have frequent conversations with the young janitor and I myself wanted to become one. A lack of available vehicles that forced me to pound the pavement made me quit after about a year. But I loved the job, co-workers and the entire management team. This was at the Fordham station in the Bronx. Now, I accepted an offer as a MVO and I'm very much looking forward to working as a bulk mail driver. If an IT job becomes a possibility I may go for it.

whats the difference PSE Mail Process Clerk and Mail handler assistant?

[@MarieAdventure]

PSE sort mails, MHA sort packages but sometimes their work overlaps and depending on the need of man power, they switch roles.

I just started as an mha in feb. I was placed in an annex facility helping with Covid kits. What happens after? Do they send you to a plant or do they just let you go?

It depends on the demand for manpower. Other case is if they like they will keep you. Work hard and make friends.
