Current Employee – been working at Papa John's part-time for less than a year
Pros – It's nice to come home with ~$40+ every night, although your paycheck won't ever exceed $300, and that's aiming high. It's not difficult at all if you can read a map or using Google Maps. No really, it's easy as heck.
Cons – Car wear and tear, hourly pay is minimal.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay more than $1.10 per 5 miles.

Current Employee – been working at Papa John's part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Very flexible schedules. Management actually gets to know you and cares about your life. Very little stress.
Cons – Flour gets everywhere. Sometimes you aren't able to get off in time due to rush hours.
Advice to Senior Management – The safety quizzes we take each week are a little... I don't know. They're really easy and I don't really get anything out of them. Just takes up some time out of my work day. Other than that, I don't have any complaints (maybe pay... but who doesn't) about the company.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
