Pros: government job so good pension and benefits; union job so management can't mess with you; you get to be outdoors and active while you work so exercise benefits. The two people I ever knew who did this work loved it, both of them despised office environments and liked to be active.
Cons: the weather in winter can be rough, but usually on really bad days they don't deliver the mail anyway. The union/management situation is supposedly very tense and can spill into the work environment. be prepared to be publicly pro-union.
