Enjoyable outdoor work but company lags in many areas

Rural carrier associate (rca)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ You get to be outside + Little to no supervision

Cons

They're just way behind on everything. Training, technology, benefits, fleet supply and especially pay. They did nothing to innovate or stay ahead in the 90s or 00s and it really shows today. And with the pension fund being paused cause the USPS is about to run out of money soon, you'd be attaching yourself to a sinking ship wanting to work here.
