Pros

The only pro for this position is that the pay is decent. There's no benefits, other than annual leave for this position until you become permanent.

Cons

I work with some of the worse supervisors I've ever known. They talk to you any kind of way, yell & discipline you in front of everyone!! You're never given the courtesy of being called into an office to address your work progress, everything is disclosed/yelled out on the open work floor. The worse is when you're still under you 90-day probationary period, where you're constantly reminded that they can get rid of you, without a reason, at any time.

Pros

IF and I say IF there was to be any Pros I guess would would be the hours cause you will get plenty.

Cons

Now where to start!! Let's start with just today management atleast at my workplace is very shady to the point where I have to take picture of my schedule. Last night i tripled check my schedule to make sure I was off the following day and ended up taking a picture off it. Wake up the next morning to 7 missed calls from my supervisor saying that i was scheduled to work and sent me a picture of the schedule with it now saying that i wasn't off. Proceeded to respond with my picture in response. Next this whole CCA position is garbage. I went from being a TE carrier making $22 per hour until they decided to get rid of it and make all non career employees CCA's, Well they decided to slay the pay by $8 and pretty much make you their dog. Not only that but they just started Sunday delivery which is the CCa's sole responsbility as well as on holidays.

Pros

Working Outdoors when the weather is nice, Friendly customers, Union Reps, and Fellow co-workers.

Cons

$15.00/Hour (Currently Minimum Wage in Seattle) with absolutely no benefits and 6 days of work with only 1 day off. The Regulars get paid nearly $30 dollars an hour with vacation, sick leave, 2 days off, overtime, and the same route. Management constantly calls your cell phone at all hours of the day. If you miss a call they can get rid of you. Management has completely unrealistic expectations of when you need to complete a route or part of a route. There are about 100 different routes with it being completely random on a daily basis. Management takes no accountability for their lack of training or clear instructions. They will get annoyed and roll their eyes at you if you do ask questions. You will get managers that have never delivered a piece of mail in their lives yet they are the ones that so call "manage". This lack of experience is completely evident. You will receive very little to no training and any type of mistake you make will be completely blamed on you. They have sent me home twice after working 6 hours without giving me a lunch break. Forget about eating lunch or taking any sort of breaks if you want to meet their ridiculous deadlines. Nearly broke my wrist and management decided to make jokes about my injury and thought I was making it up even after having a doctor look at it. You will never have a set schedule or a life for that matter. Forget about making regular for 4-5 years. The CCA Position is close to slavery as one can get. Over 70% Turn-Over Rate (People Drop Like Flies) Times are tough and jobs are scarce but don't be fooled by this so called federal government position. you are better off being a janitor, working at Walmart, or being a janitor at Walmart.
