Pros
Good pay, the hourly rate doesn't really matter as an RCA. Each route is evaluated based on size and amount of mail it receives so regardless of how long it takes you it's the same amount(9 hours for my route). You can finish your route and work a few hours on another and end up getting paid for 12 hours even if you only worked 8. The job keeps you healthy, I lost about 70lbs since I started. Once you learn the job it becomes incredibly easy.
Cons
You must make them your number 1 priority. School, family and social life take a back seat to the post office. You will have a primary route but you could be called in on any route and delivering a route you've never done is stressful. With Sunday delivery now, you could be working 7 days a week and around Christmas you can expect 10-12 hour days.
