mailroom
Corporate letter center
A mailroom is the department or physical space in an organization where incoming and outgoing mail is processed, sorted, and distributed.
In large companies, the mailroom handles packages, interoffice correspondence, and shipping logistics.
Starting in the mailroom is a cliché for beginning at the bottom of a corporate hierarchy: He worked his way up from the mailroom to CEO.
