Pros

As a driver you don't have a manager watching you work Its a good work out The starting pay per hour is fair The training is paid for and very educational

Cons

Being hired as a part time driver it's literally 2-3 hours per day. 10 to 15 hours per week. Not a lot of money to be made there. Even though the manager isn't able to watch you, you are under a lot of stress to deliver your packages by a certain deadline, and you're manager knows where you are on the road and whats left to be delivered. So he/she may call you to pick up the pace, or scream their heads off at you, if you're unable to deliver on time. The opportunity to advance is mostly in job title only, the pay increases are minimal (and only once a year). Even working as many hours as you can (30 max p/t) you'll make less than $500 a week. I was doing that, by leaving in the morning and returning in the evening to unload vehicles. Not unionized (nor can it be) so the health benefits are also not great.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
