      Pros

      Good Pay Good Benefits when you become career in 2 years and Better all over when you get your own route but that can take 3 to 4 years

      Cons

      Horrible Absolutely no work life balance they expect you to work 10 to 12hrs a day and 6 days a week you never know when you going to get off. As a CCA you are a complete slave. Then you got to drive them Old dusty trucks that are always breaking down and the seats are uncomfortable then if you got a walking route the routes are so long. They put so much work on you the managers don’t care they will have you out there at 9 and 10 at night trying to deliver mail if you can make it for 3 years then you will be okay but I definitely wouldn’t recommend unless you overly bored with life and don’t have no obligations to nothing or no one and the pay is good but for all the mess that comes with it they should pay more. Don’t believe the hype but if you decide to pursue it GOOD LUCK TO YOU

      Pros

      The pay is pretty good, lets be real its pretty hard to get $19 a hour for unskilled repetitive manual labor position, where you don't even need a high school diploma. Not even the mighty military can do that. Plus your job security is pretty solid outsi
