US Postal Service Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) reviews

Some days are very long 10-12 hour shifts Can be stressful at times and extremely physically demanding No set schedule, schedule can change daily

Back breaking work, no lunch breaks, no bathroom breaks 13+ hour days at peak season with no help. They only help the regular carriers. You won’t get yours unless they like you meaning mostly men get hours at my office. Management plays on their phones all day and take as many lunch and smoke breaks as they want. They care nothing about your safety. They expect you to come in several hours before clock in and work for free. They pay evaluated pay which means if you don’t get done in the time they think it takes you work for free. When they say lifting up to 50lbs they lie I delivered a treadmill all by myself I’m a 55 year old female. I have a torn meniscus form this job because most of the year I’m lucky to get two days then boom Christmas comes and they need you seven days a week and some days are 13+ hours delivering in the dark til 9pm or later. They care nothing about their employees you are replaceable if you get injured.
