US Postal Service Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) reviews

Working outdoors in extreme heat. The job is not as easy as it appears however, like any other job you get used to it

The company's hierarchical structure enforces the worst work with the least training on the newest people while giving the least assistance in completing tasks. due to this structure, senior staff are given the option to assist the newer or leaving to flounder. Management is abusive verbally while talking badly of former coworker (Including those who gave notice). There is a clause in your contract that you are on 7 days a week which can take precedence over rest periods. Management will abuse this option as only senior personnel can refuse management's demand. shifts can be over 14 hours for multiple weeks at a time. Overtime is not properly allocated. Management will frequently miss adjust hours due in pay, or checking "errors". Safety conditions with vehicles, & working conditions & management is difficult to work with if it result in injury.
