More than just delivering a mail route
Pros
Good people, atmosphere, and fun job.
Cons
They have you come in for 2.5 hours, give or take, just to go pick up some pallets on a 2 ton, UPS like truck. I was expecting to just deliver a mail route a couple days a week when I signed on as part time. You do do that, but they also have days where they schedule you for pickups. I couldn't stand blowing up a day for 2.5 hours at $19/hr. Another thing that was unexpected was working sundays delivering Amazon packages. I did expect some weekend work, but the Amazon work adds a lot of weekend shifts doing something I was unaware was part of the job. I was scheduled every weekend day for 2 months. It was more weekend work than I wanted during the school year with having kids and all. So, I ended up deciding it will be much more efficient use of my time to go find somewhere to work where I can, for example, get 20 hours in 2 days, instead of in 4 days, give or take. They are understaffed and so also expect a lot of calls to come in and schedule changes. By the way, they made the schedule as late as Wednesday at 5pm for the following week, so you really aren't supposed to plan your next week until after that...which is usually Thursday after work, if you happen to be scheduled for Thursday, to plan your next week. I didn't like that, some might be fine with it, but I have things I need to plan and schedule, and then they are often asking you to change it.
