Pros

good hourly wage decent possibility of becoming full time strong benefits package when obtaining full time status evaluation system of pay is excellent method

Cons

Again, USPS is ok, RCA job is a terrible job. Usually no guaranteed hours, only get work when a "regular" needs time off, which sometimes means weeks and weeks and even months without working, even with "farming" yourself out to other offices (Because the other offices usually have their own subs). Pay is great, if you can get work, but if not, it can feel like you don't even work there. Also, in bigger offices, an RCA can literally go 20 years without an opportunity to go full time, due to the seniority system of promotion. Only in the perfect situation is this job even worth considering (and the perfect scenario is becoming a sub for a sickly person that takes a lot of time off work and will be retiring in about a year, as you have to be an RCA for at least a year to even be able to accept the full time position if they do retire).
