Pros

$19.06, many hours during season(oct-feb in swfl), great coworkers (misery brings people together).

Cons

No fixed schedule- when the slow summer comes and you're only on the schedule for 2 or 3 days a week(making about $600biweekly), they still expect you to be on call- so you cannot do a second job to make up for lost wages. No work and home balance - you have no end time. (RCA)You are required to purchase a vehicle to do the job instead of them providing you with one. Management focuses on the mail and parcels not employee welfare, you will be lied to initially to get a body in the door- trust what you hear from employees not management. Protocol superceeds common sense- you may get in trouble for trying to be efficient. You make regular or get your benefits(401k, tsp, etc) only when someone dies, retires, quits or is fired- anyone in your interview saying different is lying to your face(my 3rd year of waiting).
