Great place to work

Rca

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, good benefits after you transition to career employee, good working enviroment. Fairly easy to get in, took me about 5 weeks from application to traing start date, and yes, you get paid during training.

Cons

Can't negotiate pay, though its high to begin with. I did have to do a lot of driving around from training sites and to pre employment work done, like a battery, drug test, etc. Steep learning curve, and almost no room for error.

RCA is an awful job - unemployment is arguably better

Rca

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a job Some co-workers are really great people (the only thing that made the job bearable)

Cons

The cons are seemingly endless: no benefits, takes 5+ years to make career, on-call every day, no set schedule, no set route, terrible managers who harass and micro-manage the carriers, laborious work, unions, have to use own vehicle sometimes, bad weather and roads in some areas, hostile patrons, hostile dogs, most mail is 'junk' anyway. Easily the most stressful job of my life. Christmas time finally did me in. A 65 hour week that had me near fainting from exhaustion and the manager found it amusing? DONE! The mental and physical toll was too much. And this is coming from a friendly hard working individual. The USPS is fated like the Titanic anyway. Proceed at your own career risk.
