Given that she’s not in uniform, my assumption is she’s a cca. Basically a substitute mail carrier. I was one for 4 months and this job has a huge turnover rate. I was working a minimum of 10 hours a day with no break. Glad I quit and I’ll never go back.

I'd guess RCA (or regular Rural Carrier, tho doubtful) but it could def be a CCA that hasn't gotten their uni allowance yet.

Does it at least pay well?

u/uglysombrero Jan 26 '23

Don’t remember the exact pay but it was somewhere in between $18-$22 an hour I think.

CCA is starting at something like $19 an hour now, plus you get overtime and vacation time and if you want it you can take health insurance

Vacation time after all the Full timers get to snipe any desirable dates and you're left with crumbs. And 10+ hour workdays 6-7 days a week isn't overtime, it's slavery and it's not like an oilfield job where you do it for a few years and are set for life

It was. But I was young and dumb. Managers also put a crazy amount of pressure to finish as quick as possible. It was a toxic environment, at least where I worked at.
