Pros
- Meeting happy customers who order appliances from HOME DEPOT - creating chemistry/ bond with your Master Technician or Helper vice versa - learn and develop hands-on skills with installing appliances - learn how to shoulder a dolly - cash tips from customers for hard work - SUNDAY = DAY OFF - Home Depot Servant; this company was bought out by HD to handle last-mile delivery of appliances and more from HD specifically. - potentially to be promoted if you can survive the M code terror
Cons
- 12 - 18 hour shifts; 5 am start time with ending time ranging from 3 pm-8 pm; route dependent - 6 DAYS ON - - have to encounter some of the worst environments, filled with pests, funk, and unruly customers - PIECE RATE IS R WORD: to earn your pay, you get paid per unit; you are not an hourly employee, it's however many appliances you deliver and install, plus adding on additional codes ( M codes) , which are worthless unless you have water lines to install/replace. You could deliver a refrigerator up two flights of stairs, and the most you get paid for that stop is under $11.50 to $15. - You could drop off an entire household of appliances, such as washer, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, unbox all of them up three flights of stairs, and only get paid about $11.50 - $15.00 bucks - NO HOURLY PAY - TO GET DISTANCE PAY, YOU HAVE TO MEET TWO CONDITIONS - DRIVER specifically : - have to manage driving a loaded box truck( 26 ft) that at any time will slam on brakes if the sensor feels you are too close to a car in front of you; EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - Sensors in the box truck have sound sensors that create an irritating and distracting noise, diverting the driver's attention from the road.
