After 6 years in the post office 3 years as CCA, 6 months as a PTF, and the rest as a regular I saw it was a dead end job. No career advancement after being a regular no additional or continuing training. Even as a regular I was force to work 6 days a week on a regular basis. Trying to take AL after working so much they treat you like you are committing a crime. Management is absolutely terrible. They are so incompetent most do not have neither the education or temperament to deal with employees. Injuries after injuries with no time to recover and they make every attempt to deny workers compensation even after suffering multiple herniated disks in my back. I could go on and on and in 2023, the money even as a regular is pretty low. It take 13.5 years to get to the maximum pay salary which really is not much for the time in service it takes to get there. I would not recommend the post office for anyone.

This man told no LIES in this video . Been carrying mail for 19 years . I’m a City carrier and EVERYTHING he said is TRUE❗️

Working 12-14 hr 6 days a week! Is crazy. And you only have one day to rest that’s not enough!

Thank you for posting this. As RCA for the last two years this perfectly sums up the job.

Also....the week before Thanksgiving, tell your family you'll see them in January.....

They want people to quit, so they do not have to pay the hefty benefit package and salary, as people have longevity at USPS. They want the newbies because of their lower pay…

No job is easy if you want to make a living. But some jobs just make your life worse. nobody is really happy at the USPS

You speak the truth brother. Regular carrier for 19 years. It does get better, and you will get slower. Just part of it.

I was a CCA from July of last year to February of this year when I crossed over to PSE. This man never lied. I discovered that whatever rookie position you're in. IT'S GONNA TOTALLY SUCK!!!

No lies were spoken in this video!! 100% accurate sadly

Man you’re 120% right is exhausting people

On the flip side. Physically speaking this job can be a life safer. I have a bachelors degree worked a desk job for over 12 years. In those 12 years i gained over 60lbs and was not healthy at all. With covid most of my previous counterparts work from home and gained more weight; not getting enough physical activity. I’ve been with USPS for 5 years; yes it was tough yes it is a physically demanding job but of you change your diet and develop good sleeping habits you will get healthier. I have lost over 70lbs I’m in the process of a complete body transformation going from 250lbs to 169lbs. I started lifting weights. It’s amazing how much i have physically changed; my family members and friends sometimes don’t recognize me. This has been my experience of course everyone’s situation is different .

So true been an rca for around 4 months and starting right before Christmas time it was the wildest job experience I’ve ever had but now that I’m this far in I’m starting to love it I’ve welded and been a mechanic most of my life so it was a huge culture shock but this job seems very rewarding

It’s definitely not for everyone even in training they told us 80% of y’all will quit lol and we did. I’m glad I did I salute to anyone who does this job, it’s a nightmare

This is the first time I seen any of your videos. I got to say you hit this right on the nail!! Everyone thinks been a mailman aka cca is easy lol.

Usps should just start a 4 day work week better pay and better management training and things will get better. 6days working and one day off will not attract employees only scare them away

Why people quit? Because theyre underpaid and its dead end job and they treat everyone like SHIT

You’re spot on, that’s exactly how it is. I am grateful that I did my 38 years and I am free of this hell.

Great video. As a new RCA I'll say this the work load is ridiculous. It is a physically and mentally taxing day of work. The night before I have anxiety about having to deliver the mail, I don't sleep well and the day of by the end of the shift I'm spent. I get no breaks, no lunch, I don't drink water because of the lack of bathrooms and when I get home my day is shot. I'm usually ready to go to bed by 6PM. Also, the mistakes are brutal. A bad scan and you have to drive back out and scan a label by the mail box. I swear I scan those things and they don't take for some reason. My thoughts are for the amount of work you'll do on this job spend that energy finding a much more rewarding and lucrative career with better work life balance.

UNION protects bad mail carriers and bad management/postmasters. What you say is true about the schedule as well. I worked 6 months and never once was told if I would or wouldn't work the next day, had to wait on the call. Unacceptable to do to a person in their midlife. I get doing that to a person fresh out of high school who has nothing but time, but you can't expect someone to commit 100% of their time to a job not even knowing and not getting full time hours.

I quit and and cannot be happier. I was harassed because I was injured and had doctors note and fmla approved but management still questioned me and also they harassed me for looking for another job while off with injury. Management sucks and this job doesn’t pay that well in my opinion unless your doing over time everyday. god bless all the carriers that out there doing the real hard work with little respect from management and below pay god bless the clerks too.

I am a PSE Mail Processing Clerk right now, waiting to become a full time regular! I get sent home early a lot of nights. Not getting 40 hours a week sucks! We do have a lot of safety meetings as well! And they can change your schedule anytime they want to do so!

73, 78, 75, 91 hours the last few weeks. Never under 60. I make regular NOV 4th. I love this job. Once out of the office this job is great. I'm in a decent station.

I'm looking at applying to be an RCA in North Dakota. The harsh winters here have me wondering if I want to. But they are so desperate atm, I could become a career carrier in no time at all. Just spoke to the supervisor. I'm thinking I should give it a go as the benefits look so good.

Great video. Hope people take what you said into consideration before applying. Everything you said was true and spot on. Unfortunately

I remember actually kinda enjoying the job on my first week, then on my second week I had two break downs, in the same week. Then started getting sent to different offices. Been out until dark some days, came home and just ate and went straight to bed. And now I just show up everyday and yet I’m still not fully there.

Working every Saturday blows

I could go on for hours with reasons people quit and especially the near future with the upcoming contract.

You hit the nail on the head!

Everything ur saying is true I see it with my own eyes I’m only 5 months in, I’m so blessed though management loves me they give me two days off in a row sometimes and sometimes give me friday and saturday off.. but I do bust my ass for them I’m a cca 5 months in and I finish full routes before some regulars even right now during the busy times.

USPS has turned into a joke. A bunch of incompetent supervisors that act like children. CCAs are worked 7 days a week 12-14 hours a day. They expect you to be a hero for McDonald’s pay. I have seen a Career Carrier come back early from back surgery just for them to follow him on his route and tell him he is going to slow. They would purposely give him heavy packages from other routes as “pieces” and the Union shop steward wouldn’t do anything to help him. He landed up retiring early because of the constant harassment. I wouldn’t recommend anyone become a carrier unless they are single have no kids and are ok with 20 years of harassment.

I am a retired 25 yr Mailhandler ..went through some of the same issues back then..but it got easier when I made regular career employee.Just got to hang in there or leave.Sure it’s way different now than when I started..but it’s a business good or bad

I’m a week into being a cca. Got sent to a different office today for the first time. They stuck me on a full route which I haven’t done yet. I was so overwhelmed I almost walked out 10 times while I was casing

I used to work at a warehouse quit to do rca for a year In honestly the post office was better in easier that warehouse job was a physical 12pm-10pm job with no life,but at the post office I went in at 7am got off around 8:30 that was good to me coming from a warehouse I quit to start back beening a owner operator but honestly the job wasn’t hard it was better than a warehouse to me

I was thinking about applying as a CCA with the post office. I didn't realize that at this position you had to lift so much weight. I thought mail carriers didn't lift that much. I have 4 herniated disc in my back and sciatica nerve damage in my leg. I figured I could take pain killers. But, Now I'm having second thoughts.

For the past few years, every few weeks or months I have a new mail person, I always ask what happened to the other and the new ones almost always says they quit.

I’ve carried mail for 22 years and anybody that asked me about taking a job with us I will tell them to run away do not even consider it….. it is an absolute grueling beat down with abusive characters that run the show and treat you like total garbage. Your unions don’t represent you properly. This whole organization is so broken and I tell as many people as I can to steer clear.

Read your Jcam, there is no "standby". You don't have to wait by your phone. Read your contract and handbooks and get involve with your Union to make it better in your area.

Just completed my third week as a CCA. Thought I was going to be many hours but have averaged 30 hours a week. I have bills to pay and need to work Didnt realize how many people/homes DONT even have a mailbox. WHERE am I suppost to leave this mail. Also, people dont have addresses on their homes. They tell you to look across the street but that sometimes doesnt work. You go to the next house and then you realize that you misdelivered the mail. They give you 3 hours to run a route....you go bust your butt off and it takes you 6 hours. Then the supervisors are barking at you. 2 years to get the "good benefits"? Dont know if Im going to stick around for that. I could get a better job somewhere else. Heck, HOme Depot offers better benefits to its part-time employees.

I’m a regular and this man told no lies!! Even being a regular isn’t even all it’s cracked up to be. Crap management, forced OT, Sundays. So many career carriers are quitting now too not just the cca/rcas. That should be telling

Man bro you told the truth. I say the same when I see people coming in at 50 like man I hate for them to have to go through it cuz they don’t care and it’s not easy

Hello. I am new and I am learning and it is very difficult for me to learn everything. I feel frustrated for not doing my job well

I agree with everything this man says except my station manager and the evening supervisors are pretty kind to me. If I run 2-3 routes a day they usually let me go home but obviously it’s not sustainable

It's the hardest job in the postal service. Imagine this being privatised. It will be even more miserable

I just converted in December in the plant clerk craft.... Worth the wait now if they can get rid of the supervisors lol

I was a CCA for over two years in Boston. Made regular and stayed on for two more. I walked thirty thousand miles in the time I was in. As soon as I left my joints and back started healing again.

This man isn't telling one lie.. I am a MHA for the post office and i just turned in my resignation today.

I quit as a cca after a year and have no regrets. #1, it's a dangerous job! I'm 5'2 female and got chased by big dogs like German shepherds and other big dogs. Also coming across a fully naked man in walking relay! Dangerous delivery in ghetto neighborhoods. Honestly i was very aware of my surroundings and was always scared someone could kill me or rob me.I've tripped multiple times and almost would hurt myself at times. Very dangerous job. Also working 6 days a week 12 hr days, wtf!! Had no time to hang with my fiance. Would be too tired to do chores because I was so physically drained doing these 10-15 mile walking routes. No freedom what so ever.

Another thing no tapped on that i will touch from the rca side of things. RCA's are expected to deliver out of their own car which means you will be putting damage on your car to do the job. I did the math on my end and I was spending 58% of my netpay buying/fixing stuff on my car to just do the job. Its not like its highway miles either, there was roughly 800 boxes per route at my station so your breaking to a stop at least 400-500 times a day minimum. Rural craft chews cars for breakfest. You are expected to find a mechanic/fix it yourself too and in my experience, the money they pay you for miles will not cover the cost for repairs so you lose money. Odds are at least one rural carrier will be out a vehicle half of the time, so half of the time your running that downed route. Combine all this stuff happening to your personal car and you have a recipe for high turnover rate, no call no shows, and rage quits. Another thing is since you are likely doing it out of a right side vehicle, you will have to rip the console out of your car or spent 1-3k on a conversion kit. I choose the rip the console out method which is cheapest but this results in you riding around from speeds 0-80 without a seatbelt, meaning a crash is likely a hospitilization/death sentence. Just crashing from 25-0 is going to result in a bad injury if you aren't strapped in. I ended up getting a strain injury from having to sit in the middle as well. [RANT TIME]The thing that made me throw in the towel was I swerved hard due to a guy attempting a pass on a blind turn. I swerved off the road/back onto avoiding death but I hit a bump and my axel shattered. I had to handle towing/getting the mail to the station by nyself, spent 5 hours waiting on a LLV to finish the route, multiple rca's coming back in the process and getting sent home. Meanwhile I got yelled at by a supervisor for not securing the mail dispite it being in a fenced in facility when the weather was 100 outside and me watching it from the break room window. I got back onto the roads to finish half the route at 4 but was expected to be back at 7 when I had 550 boxes left on my route + a loop from another rural carrier who had also broken down. I had one rca to help me and he blew me off entirely, leaving around 5pm that day but I somehow finshed all my mail and returned at 6:55. Almost dying in a head on colision with no seatbelt, shatrering my axel on my personal car costing 1.2k in repairs, getting no help from management for a tow/help from other carriers, and being expected to run a loop/over half my route in less than 3 hours when I had ups orientation around the corner? That was the straw that broke my back. The worst part about my story is its not even uncommon, ask ANYONE who has worked for usps for more than a year, they will have multiple stories just like it

This is so true. Worked for them for 11 years. Quit this year.

Schedule gets no better as a regular. Woodstock GA office forces its regular carriers to work all non-scheduled days for the last 2 years. They refuse to hire ccas. They refuse to fill any vacant routes. It’s pure hell, but you can’t find a better job for similar so we are all stuck

Florida... 100% true. RCA for a year several years ago. I jumped ship and never looked back. I saw a miserable life ahead.

I have a plan and I don’t plan to be there long. I’m trying to get this car and catch up on bills and then I’m gone but In the meantime I will be looking for another job

*if you make it to regular* I used to think that it gets better, but at least where I’ve been working in TX, regulars who are not on the overtime list are still being mandated 60 hours. One of which is within the top 5 of seniority. I know it depends on your office. But I’ve now worked at three offices as a CCA in mid-to-large cities, and I no longer believe that mgmt is doing anything to get the non-overtime regulars back down to 40 hours. This is what makes me think of quitting weekly now after a year and a half as a CCA - I was willing to work 65 hours for two years (or a little more) to reap the benefits of career, but everywhere I turn career employees are working almost as much as CCAs. Sucks.

Being a PSE ain’t no joke when I was one I was treated like crap by a supervisor me and another young lady I took it for awhile finally I took up for myself I will never ever let a supervisor miss treat me again when I finally got converted, the supervisor tried acting like nothing ever happened.

Need rca’s where I’m at. Now one will apply. Wonder why?

Totally the truth! He is not telling you stories , it’s all true. It is not for older people 50+. Especially if you have retired and want another job after. Customers have no clue what USPS Employees really go through. It is so obvious as to why the turnover rate is so high. It Sucks!

You may this or may not but they are cracking down heavy on speaking on behalf of the post office

The accuracy!!!!!! I’m not longer an RCA. I’m about to start my new position as a MHA….hopefully this is a better fit😊

This video is simply the true

The bread is here. That new contract bout to be litty!

33 years walking route,I agree 1000 %

Don't be a rual carrier thats a screwed up position you will go in debt. You have to provide your own vehicle, pay for all the gas and pay for all the vehicles repairs. Don't do it.

I only lasted a Month as a CCA. Every day i had no idea what i was in for. My station forgot to clock in my 8 hours one day on the first week there. LLV breaking down. One day off a week. Management was rude. Im sure everyone will have a different experience.

I’ve been here 12 years im quitting within the next month or so this job is not worth it anymore

Hi, I applied and just been thinking about it all. I’ve been a medical assistant for 9ish years and I live in Michigan. My questions is to become a regular, is it after a certain time or how does that work?

Dam i remember working for usps as my first job to save up money for my education and how sht it was :c i hated how the more work you did the more work they made you do, and how Supervisors where mostly uneducated or did not know what to do! Coming home from work sometimes crying from all the abuse. The only somewhat nice thing was when you where done working and where outside withh your uniform and ID badge people would somewhat praise you I guess, and would talk about how nice it must be etc, but little do they know! I still kept my uniform and my usps ID badge, I still wear my usps employee ID badge behind my new job ID badge to remember those humble beginnings! Looking at that naive photo of myself is just so funny 😂 little did I know what a hell of a ride it was gonna be.

Every day in the station I worked in we would be mandated to work on other routes . I retired after 36 years loving retirement.still have nightmares about the p.o.

I was a cca for a couple of years there was no work / life balance at all.

I did the job fine. I quit because I was expected to work 12-15 hours everyday and never was given a day off. That’s ridiculous. Also I was harassed by so many people. How is it better when you become regular? Do you mean everyone stops harassing you when you become regular?

No overtime here sigh love the job tho easy money

I was told by management that i had to speed & run red lights at stop signs to make my time. F that shit! Worst job i ever had & im no slou

you forget to mention, as a cca you dont know if you will be off work at 1pm or 9pm each day. and you wont know until it is time to get let go for the day. get your assignment done by 330, go back to the office, take a couple loops out on something else that someone brought back. get back at 6 pm, get sent back out to help someone else...etc etc. you never know your daily clock out time until you get to clock out.

ALL FACTS HERE

I bought a dog trainer from Amazon for 35.00 and its orange and black. Works on most dogs, except puppies and elder dogs who can not hear. Its better than spraying them and yourself.

Basically going to have to work 60 hours every week brand new and weekends. If you file a grievance for overtime penalties you get fired in the first 90.

Re: walking routes - don't forget dogs & dog crap...

So is there a way to get a day off legally? i thought you are required a day off after so many days. Also I am an ex carrier of 2 years back in 2016. Things really haven't changed other than getting PTF status (which i would have made before)... Im disappointed I left & now I'm starting from scratch on the 29th. I do love the job & the tasks but I will need to be smarter this time around. I know not to rush & do what I can safely.

Hopefully the contract goes through and it will be more worth it!

The people who apply and quit because they thought the job was different should have done a lot of research before applying. Any job you apply for you need to do research. That's just dumb, imo.

8 hours fellas 😂. That amazon box behind you Looks vicious

Post Office Don’t Give E-Fuck About They Employees I Could Go On About All The Trials & Tribulations I’ve Went Through With The Post Office In Just 7 Months And The Money Is Only Good If You Work Countless Hours Of Overtime Which Caused Me To Develop A Hip Issue But Of Course The Post Office Didn’t Care So To Prevent Further Damage I Just Got A Doctors Note Stating I Can Only Work 6hrs a Day So No More Long Days & No More Stress As I Wait To Go Carrier Which Only Takes Upto 2 Years

Talk to em!

The U’s as in UPS and USPS is not a place for the meek. 12yrs @UPS and 18months @USPS

It’s no JOKE!!! 30yrs in and I’m out soon!

Are you guys in the usps throwing away my/our money making post cards and mail in huge volume?

Yeah, the management is a joke. So many people quit early, and it's common sense why people quit. Work you like a dog, they just don't care, you think they would. Terrible management, duh! Simple to NOT have a high turnover rate, but for some reason the people in charge still don't get it, after all these years. They need to get real management.

how long does it take to go full time

I'm seeing so many bad comments about the post office but if all mail carriers stop how are you supposed to get packages or send out letters yes everything is done online but you're forgetting if UPS and FedEx and everybody shut down we're all screwed you can't deliver a package through the internet😂 I've been doing this job for almost nearly 43 years when I started at 22 I'm a multimillionaire now an retired when you first start yes it sucks but trust me it gets better😊

I don't know why this came up in my recommendations, but I'm not in the least interested in working anywhere that forces me to take experimental concoctions.

USPS just made this against the rule You're not allowed to make videos About USPS you'll be getting fired.

This job sucks. I just quit being a arc in knoxville tennessee. Drunk driver hit me got broken sturnum and more no help grom the management to get me treated .Management sucks new bosses every 2 months. This manager named DALLAS drink at his liquor.

you mean If your willing to throw your life away for Pennie’s then you can do it lol 😂 😂😂😂

I quit after shadow day 🤭

Second of all have anybody read the comments for Walmart and how people get treated there or any other retail outlet it's way worse at Walmart or Target or any other place especially at the hospital😂😂 all these jobs suck😂

It was never the workload that caused me to quit. The job is not hard. Preparation makes the job run smoothly. It was the promoting of the worst craft employees to supervision. Now you have the worst supervision. It was the lack of communication and the intimidation they used against employees who spoke up for themselves. It was the gross mismanagement of the pay for rural carriers that also caused me to quit. I had no problem filing grievances. I won 3 of 6 grievances and I didn’t win the other 3 because they’ll probably throw them out because I left. The place is a sinking ship.

New hire cca working 3-4 hour route 6 days a week. My manager said cause i was training. If someone didn't want thrir bullshit extra work i would get 30m-1 hour . So per week i was doing 25 hours waiting to get more hours. Nope fuck them!!!!!

had a postmaster that wanted to reward the carriers and clerks that performed the best... shop steward complained saying it could be interpreted as favoritism or disparaging to the other employees.. having the union is cool but that's when it gets stupid.. they defend the shitbags and the ones that complain

People have quit because of the deduction of pay for unwanted reasons
