My experience

Overview

Yellow belt project: reduce number of missent parcels on the largest parcel sorting machine. Worked on design for runout sorting system. Troubleshooted new automatic forklift system. Various one-off tasks and small kaizens.

Pros

A lot of support, most craft employees willing to work with me to make improvements, emphasis on training and learning LSS, Got involved in many important meetings and events.

Cons

Sometimes literal fights would happen between employees (I was never involved and it didn't impact my work at all, but it was very odd)

Impact of work

Time spent working

Interview questions

Hardly any questions. It was just a conversation about my experiences and goals. My manager did the interview and they actually talked most of the time.

Advice on how to prepare

Apply on their website early! The person I met at career fair told me what day/time it would drop, I had four different USPS locations contact me that night!
