there are alot of hard-working people in the local offices, from the carriers to the clerks .

Regular rural carrier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

getting to know the people and serving them is the best part of the job. developing a trust with our customers and being able to serve them in this special way is such a blessing. nothing makes me happier than when i deliver a package or letter that they were hoping to get and seeing how happy they are to receive it.

Cons

making carrier was hard for me. i spent 15 years as a rca mostly as an aux. carrier on a route that should have made full time status. i would build it up only to have mail count knock it back down. upper management is taking all the credit for what clerks and carriers do and all the compensation. while our pay is fair the job is hard on a carrier's physical being working in all kinds of weather conditions and the ema really does not cover alot for what we have to put our vehicles though.

High pay, no benefits

Rural carrier associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

work independently. I loved being in the office with my coworkers, we helped each other if needed, then I loved being out on the road by myself and listening to my radio as I drove from box to box.

Cons

no benefits, unless you became a career employee as others quit or retired. The hardest part of the job was not knowing how long each day would be, you worked until it was all delivered, and having to work every Saturday. You are classified as part time, but work six days a week. Our management was constantly changing.

Tough job, be ready!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Thorough training, nice base pay, and federal job on a resume, and you fight to beat the time rather than sit and watch it go by.

Cons

Very stressful, strict time constraints, sporadic work loads, and Christmas is a very tough time of year.
