Pros
As a part time RCA, I make more money here than working full time in most office positions. Get up early, but I am home by mid-afternoon.
Cons
I have to watch my phone like a hawk, I have received calls all hours of the night to come in to work the next day. On call or scheduled everyday except Sunday. To be safe on the road, one needs to purchase a Right hand drive vehicle and these are not cheap. The job is usually very physically demanding(for a small frame person anyway), must be unshaken by ice and snow, extreme heat, and other weather conditions, Learning a route is extremely frustrating, Christmas is not fun at all. You have to wait till someone retires or quits to move up the chain and get closer to becoming full time with benefits, etc. Not a very gratifying job. Very rarely is it an easy day, at least in my office.
