US Postal Service Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) reviews

Less hours worked as associate. No air condition in their delivery vans

Good pay when you actually get hours Full time regulars think they have privilege no matter what so time off is always a problem when someone lower on the totem pull tries to take off. Not really any kind of work life balance when you are new or have not made regular because you can either work Monday - Sunday. Or you can not get scheduled at all based on seniority but get the privilege to work every Saturday and Sunday. Also, not a very great job for stability. Some pay periods you might get 90+ hours and others you might get scheduled on a Saturday and that’s it. When someone calls in you also have to take over and cover their route as a substitute RCA. So if you had plans say goodbye there is no making plans. Also, something else that is not the greatest is a schedule change when you are not around and no notification that you work the next day, so then it is your fault. Not a lot of accountability at the post office.
