Pros
The pay is good especially with the economy and the lack of jobs in the state of Wisconsin. Will get a lot of over time hours no matter what. Descent paycheck.
Cons
Working in every type of weather condition. Only able to protect yourself with dog spray that may not work against dogs. Putting your safety at risk by being on your own with mail and packages. Mandatory over time regardless if you finish your route or not, no time for your family or to take care of your personal business, very hard to get any time scheduled off for appointments, etc. Management lack interpersonal skills and Career Letter Carriers & CCAs that have seniority over you can't be trusted they will give throw you under the bus to make themselves look good and it's hard to tell which ones sometimes. Also management Don't Care about your mental and physical well-being at all! They will quickly let you know your Replaceable and to stay out there delivering your mail no matter how long it takes even though they give you unreasonable time frames to do your routes, you better be done and clocked out before 5:30 p.m. Also when you doing a good job, management Reward you with More Mail and Packages and when your doing not so good they fuss, finger point, tell you how bad your doing no matter who is around. No benefits until you get hired in the company. Possibility that you get Injured trying to meet time requirements. Working in the dark by yourself and management is Reluctant to send for help when you need it as a matter of fact they will fuss at you before they send you help or will Not send you help at all!
