      Part-Time Rural Carrier Associate (RCA)

      Pros

      Good pay. Work on your own about 75% of the time. Able to pick up additional hours if you want to learn more routes. The longer you stay the better it gets (5-6 hour days/full day's pay). Most of your co-workers seem to be happy to be employed by the USPS. Union is great. Opportunity to advance as most of the workforce will be retiring in the next 3-5 years.

      Cons

      Crash course training. Learning how to case mail takes a lot of time, have to be a patient person. Have to know how to navigate a map. Weather conditions are bitter sweet (super hot sunshine/super cold freeze/everything in between) with no AC or major heat. In the beginning you might work 12+ hour days (paid by the hour).

      Pros

      40+ hours a week. Once in a while someone will bring in donuts.

      Cons

      No social life. Work 80/ week during xmas. Get treated like scum by management. No incentive to work harder. Causes emotional strain on family life. Did I mention management is horrible? Only had one awesome supervisor during my 5 year employment. Pay raises are non-existent. No sick leave. If u put in for annual leave, management will not approve it. Mail carriers are always understaffed. Regular carriers will always screw over the CCAs. This is not a career job. CCAs are cheap low cost slaves for Amazon. Yes you will be working 7 days a week up to 24 days in a row. The union is the worst for CCAs. Job will make you suicidal. If there is a living hell then the post office is it.
