Great if you're a full-time employee, not so great if you're a Rural Carrier

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great starting pay for anyone that doesn't have a college degree. You get paid for the estimated time it takes to complete a route even if you finish it earlier than expected.

Cons

You will spend many late hours doing more routes on top of yours if people don't show up to work that day.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good, holidays and Sundays off, people were very nice and working independently.

Cons

Scheduling can be bad, sometime you work 10 hour days, get called in on your day off, opportunity for advancements are very slim, feeling overwhelmed at times, very strenuous on your body and NO BENEFITS!! Also the Postal Service is in a huge 5 Billion dollar hole, lots of uncertainty going on..Pay freeze and a chance that hours will be cut soon.
