US Postal Service Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) reviews

Lies, lies, lies. I was told that I was applying for a full time job, with a usps delivery vehicle. I stopped by the local PO, to learn more one week before my start date, which was two months after I was hired!!! I was told at that time that I would have to supply my own right hand drive vehicle. Those don’t grow on trees folks! They let me use a company vehicle for a month, which is when I learned that I would be working one day a week, with an occasional extra day. I could not spend thousands for a right hand drive car for a, part time job. After training this job pays by the route, not by the hour. Someone sitting in front of a computer screen somewhere, looks at a map and adds miles plus stops and determines the pay rate. This rate has nothing to do with actual conditions, such as weather, population growth, or packages requiring a trip to the door, and/or a signature.

Extremely physically taxing. Coworkers are relentless if an individual is not part of "the in crowd"
