Mailmen have assistants?
Yeah, we fill in when the regular full time mailman goes on vacation, on holidays, and anywhere else we are needed. Its a temporary non career appointment for a year, no guarantee of hours, pays $16.25/hour. The guy at the orientation says current City Carrier Assistants(thats the actual job title) are working an average of 40-55 hours a week but that they are hiring so we can most likely expect less. At the end of the year you have a 6 day break and if you work hard and efficently and pass your performance reviews, chances are good you'll be hired for another year. The orientation guy also said that people are retiring and getting promoted all the time so there is a chance that afew years down the road I can maybe get a full time mailman job with full benefits.
