RCA Rural Mail Carrier

Rca

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This job keeps you busy during the day. You go in, case your mail. pull it down and deliver it. Constantly on the go. You get a mix of indoor outdoor work with some exercise. Other mail carriers were very nice and helpful.

Cons

It can take 3,5 or 10 years to get full time. In the mean time you are expected to be available 6 days a week, even if you only are scheduled one day a week. You have to use your personal car on most routes and you do a lot of work on your car and spend a lot on repairs. You are paid an evaluated time. If you are new you can work 12 hours and get paid 8.

Absolutely the worst work enviroment I've ever experienced.

Business Outlook

Pros

At first the pay seemed great. But after experiencing the stress, backbiting, cut throat enviroment, its not nearly enough for what you have to endure from management

Cons

There was no training to speak of. One day to ride along - next day 1/2 route and the following day the other 1/2. Then you are on your own. And I mean literally. I was'nt given a map or line of travel -had to beg for that. You are expected to know how to case and deliver like carriers who have been there for 18-20 years- but you have days to do it. I should have known something was wrong when the people who have worked together for 20 years would'nt speak to each other. Totally misearble place to work. I understand now why they cannot keep drivers.
