In this video, I discuss in detail the federal benefits and advantages of a USPS Labor Custodial job and why it's the best entry level position.
NOTE: USPS NEVER charges a fee for entrance exams. If payment is requested during the application process, walk the fuck away, go to usps.com/careers/ and APPLY THERE.

I’m a Custodian at SB California. I love this job because it’s stress free, easy tasks and you barely have to deal with management. We get yearly two COLAs adjustments and a USPS Step increase. Which means we get three raises every year. We don’t have to ask or bag for a raise. Yes there’s overtime, Holidays - double time and working Sundays are also know as “Premium” get paid 25% extra. So yeah at the end of the year you’ll make lots of money, more than your contract. I recommend this position.

I've worked in just about every craft in the PO and hands down, the custodian job is the absolute best! We do 60 hours a week here consistently (4 hours OT a day) and most of our custodians make more money than the Plant Manager, well over six figures. My co-workers are some the most financially independent, savvy and literate people I've met since joining the postal service 20 years ago. Everyone that has at least 6 years in are debt free, homes paid off (including rental properties), have incredible investment portfolios and heavily loaded TSP accounts. Disabled Vets and regular Vets are given priority, but regular civilians are hired also here. Since Custodians come in as career employees, if you're not satisfied, the option to apply for other positions in the Postal Service is wide open and the sky is the limit. Thank you for the video, Marie Adventure.

I just applied for this postion last week. Took the test this past monday and got a 94. I currently work as a pse mail processing clerk. Just got hired for that position actually. Also, I do have veterans preference so I hope it does not take long to hear back about this job. I'm excited because I always hear that this is the best job in the post office and I know how rarely the opportunity rises.

Hello, i just recently started working as the position and from what i heard every plant/office is different. But what from what i can tell you is no, its not a hard to do. The tasks may vary in physical/mental demanding, but overall its been very laid back. Like some of the other comments say, i only probably work a 2-3 hours a day depending on the speed i work, then the rest im just hanging out somewhere. From what ive gathered so far from working here is, aslong as you do your assigned task by the end of your tour, youre good
