Pros

Flex hour blocks are ok

Cons

Every single process at Amazon is designed to squeeze the heck out of its workers - whether it is the warehouse workers, corporate workers, or delivery drivers. As expected, Amazon creates delivery package distribution based on some buggy and invalidated algorithms and the drivers pay the price for that inaccuracy. If a driver has to make 50 deliveries in 3 hour blocks, what is based on? A simulation, actual data, test results? As an engineer who does this for some side money, I can vouch this with my years of college experience and designing simulations that Amazon Flex comes up with delivery packages with models that maybe 50% accurate at best. That is why you will always be able to deliver the allotted packages in 3 hour blocks only half the time. So when is Amazon Flex wrong half the time, who takes the brunt, it is the drivers who essentially work for the richest greedy CEO in the world for free.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
