US Postal Service Assistant Rural Carrier reviews

There will always be a few incompetent people in the wrong positions. This is true of every company and every workplace. The Post Office is particularly bad at weeding the deadbeats out.

Long hours. Unfair treatment. Favoritism. You have to overlook a lot of crap. The rules are interpreted to suit the ossaision. Rural carriers get paid by salary, no matter how long the workday can be, the pay remains the same. You will have to do a lot of physical labor every day. The general public thinks this is not possible and that we are overpaid to ride around in cars all day and just stick mail in boxes. We do all our own sorting and loading. Some of us have to provide and maintain our own vehicles. Customers think they have the right to disrespect us. They are quick to complain if we make a mistake, yet we might fix a lot of their mistakes in a days work and they won't ever know about it.
