- SESound EngineOct 4, 20251.0White girl with long black hair: SO UNPROFESSIONAL. She just doesn’t care. It’s a Saturday at 12:52.
- NMNicole MagliozziJul 3, 20251.0Extremely poor customer service. Wouldn't go back unless I had to. Edit (08/13/25) : Just got a news alert there was an assault at this location, not surprised in the least.
- PMPeggy McLoughlinJun 23, 20255.0I observed the USPS staff completing very complicated passport and international mailing jobs this morning with professionalism, calm, and attention to detail. Big shout out to Sunil!
- PBPhoney BusterFeb 16, 20231.0In newtonville ! The Most unprofessional afro American woman manager was chastising an employee right in front of many of us customers .. she was ranting and raving until a customer saved the traumatized man who seemed abit slow from almost crying ??? I have seen this before. How do these managers get their jobs ? ? Terrible way to represent the u s post office . This place needs revamping . Seems to be out of control . Never go there again .. !!!!! Fire her ......Got to say went there again and this same manager was out front again speaking loudly at another teller ?? I spoke up and asked her to speak in a lower tone and more respectfully to her employee.! She hissed at me and left .. why does she treat post office employees like this.?? I heard from a local friend, there seems to be a big turnover with employees there she notices ?? I CAN SEE WHY !! Any manager who treats customers , hissing at me .. and important employees like she does everdently should be fired ..!!! wow !! This post office must be desperate !!!
- ZBZaza BoniJan 11, 20181.0The manager there is super bitter and keeps an attitude for no reason. Some of her staff have transferred due to her unpleasant personality.
